Re: Documents and Settings

Not sure why you needed to enable the administrator account.

When I browse into c:\users\administrator I get an UAC prompt, which I okay
and then I can continue browsing.

And obivously browsing into my own account, c:\users\sean there is no UAC
prompt and I have no problems browsing that sub-folder.

You say "Documents and Settings" folder. Is this from an XP upgrade? In
clean installs of Vista they've changed that to \users.

Cheers
