Also note that if you have disabled the hiding of operating system
files, you may be running into junctions that say "access denied". These
are displayed with a ghosted icon and a shortcut symbol, and have the
name of a legacy folder location (such as "application data" and "local
settings").
These are not folders and cannot contain files.
You can see these junctions and what folder these locations have been
replaced with by using the command prompt and issuing a 'dir /al' command.
