You can access the files in those "junction points" if you want to. You can
also access the files from the folders everyone has mentioned under
C:\Users.
To see why you can't access them , right click "my music" under "documents"
under "your username folder" that shows beneath "desktop". then click
properties and click the security tab on the property sheet. Click the
advanced button and make sure the leftmost tab "permissions" is displayed.
Now look at the list of permissions and you will see that "everyone" is
DENIED "listfolder/read data." This is the Default configuration. Everyone
means everyone, including admins, and "deny" means you can't have it.
Now go over to the owner tab and see who the owner is. The default is
"System." This is not you. Make yourself the owner, using an account with
administrative rights.
At this point you still cannot access anything, but you can remove or alter
the deny permission. Highlight the deny entry and click the "edit" button.
Now you'll get yet another edit screen; highlight the deny permission and
click the edit button again. Now you can delete the Deny permission, or
change the users to whom it applies. Do that.
Voila. You will be able to access the files in the folder. It may be
easier to simply go to C:\Users\ etcetera, but if you want to look in the
old style folders, the above will allow you to do so.
good luck,
Mike
