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

[Guest Jon Wallace]

Hi,

 

On Vista, C:\Documents and Settings is not actually a folder, it's a

symbolic link. The folder containing the user data is C:\Users...

 

Where C:\Documents and Settings\John Doe would have existed, it's not

C:\Users\John Doe - the Docs and Settings link is provided for backward

compatibility for applications...

 

Hope this helps,

 

Jon
