can't get permissions

[Gordon J. Rattray]

Hi there,

I've got a client's crashed hard drive attached to my computer and need to access his Vista Documents and Settings.

I can't get permissions to let me take control nor will it let me take ownership...

What to do?

Thanks,

Gordon

Vista doesn't use the Documents & Settings...
Look under /Users/loginname

if you are actually trying to open 'Documents and Settings' and is was a Vista....
There is no folder 'Documents and Settings' which is why you cannot access it. What you are seeing is a 'junction point' which is there for older XP programs that hardwired their structure to that location.
