Re: Documents and settings is not accessible. Access is denied.

[Guest Dave]

In Vista, it's not a folder.

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.
