Documents and Settings

I'm trying to look into my "Documents and Settings" subdirectory to
find some configurtion files that Adobe apparently insists on storing
there. Then I try to look there with the normal file Explorer I get
an error message:

"C:\Documents and Settings is not accessible. Accessis denied"

Now, I'm doing this from the main Admin control account. If the sys
admin can't access the directory, who can?

How do I get Vista to play nice?

The documetns and settings directory is really a junction that points to
c:/user. To find the files that you are looking for go to c:/user/<user
name>/<name>

Right-click the folder in question and select "Take Ownership". After a
streaming DOS screen, you should be able to acces the folder normally.
