| | Documents and Settings folder "Access Denied" My Documents and Settings folder is not accessible. The error I get is "Location is not available. C:\Documents and Settings is not accessible. Access is denied." The icon shown for the folder is a shortcut icon. This computer is a migration from Vista RC2. Any ideas? TIA BillP |
