Vista - Can't Access My Documents and Settings Folder

I can't access My Documents and Settings Folder in Windows 7 even though
I'm the administrator. I want to rearrange and add some folders to the
Start-All Programs. What am I not doing right?

Use the Users folder instead. D & S is a hard link to Users.

You didn't use Vista, did you?
In Vista (and Windows 7), "Documents and Settings" is not a folder.
Vista/Win7 uses a different file structure than XP does/did. Those familiar
folder names you may be used to, like "My Documents", "Documents &
Settings", etc.
are not folders in Vista/Win7. They are junction points, and are used for
legacy
programs which were written to utilize the XP file structure. They will
redirect the programs to use the equivalent Vista/Win7 folders.
If you keep the protected operating system files hidden, you won't see them.

In Vista/Win7......
Documents & Settings -> \Users
My Documents -> \Users\youraccount\Documents
My Music -> \Users\youraccount\Music
Application Data -> \Users\youraccount\AppData
etc.

You should still be able to traverse the junction / link. You may have
to set the permissions on it.
