hi,

on ultimate, all of a sudden I can't access Application Data folder
under C:\Users\<Username>\ this is the first time this happens.. I'm
only person who uses my machine and my acct has always been admin..
(at location of folder it now shows a shortcut icon to Application Data
folder, but before it used to be folder, not a shortcut to it..) what
could have changed??

(I need access to this folder b/c need to copy a backed-up copy of
Normal.dot into C:\....\<Username>/Application Data\Microsoft\Templates


thank you..
