Re: C:\Users\my-name\Local Settings

The "temp" folder location is: "C:\Users\my-name\AppData\Local\Temp".

C:\Users\my-name\Local Settings

Hello All,

I can't get into C:\Users\my-name\Local Settings

I get a Access denied message.

In XP there was temp files in this folder, and I wanted to empty them.

Thanks

Tony

Hi,
"Local Settings" is not a real folder. It is called a Junction and is there
so that older programs can interface to Vista's new file structure.
