Access is denied.What do i do to access the folder? It's not a folder, it's a shortcut. And it goes nowhere. You can Google it for the reason. |

Vista uses a different file structure than XP does/did. Those familiar folder names you may be used to, like "My Documents", "Documents & Settings", etc. are not folders in Vista. They are junction points, and are used for legacy programs which were written to utilize the XP file structure. They will redirect the programs to use the equivalent Vista folders. If you keep the protected operating system files hidden, you won't see them. In Vista...... Documents & Settings -> \Users My Documents -> \Users\youraccount\Documents My Music -> \Users\youraccount\Music Application Data -> \Users\youraccount\AppData etc. -- Vista Home Premium 32 SP1 http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "jackietison" <jackietison@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1F022B24-E212-4157-A91F-D528B1B42FD9@microsoft.com... > How do i go into my Documents and Settings folder?Every time i try double > clicking to open it, a window pops up saying C:\Documents and Settings is > not > accessible.

The other person who replied to you gave a very detailed description of that "folder". There can't be a virus in it because it's just a shortcut. |
