| | Vista folders I recently had a crash on my servers that when I fixed started giving me problems with DFS. I have gotten DFS to work with the windows XP machines, but the Vista machines are giving me fits. Following the XP->Vista roaming profiles whitesheet I have set it up correctly but am now unable to access Documents, Music and Pictures from the Start menu, though videos work fine. The only way I can access them is to go through the C drive and Users. Now I have 3 files in the Users folder that I believe were for those previously, but I cannot access the files. They are 0 bytes and cannot be deleted or modified. I feel they were for this and would like to reestablish the connection to them. |

| | Re: Vista folders Tried taking ownership of the folders. This still did not fix the problem. Going to properties on the start menu for documents, music and pictures brings up a blank link. There is nothing on the general tab no name, no size, no nothing. The sync center shows that everything is in sync. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: Quote: > You may want to take over the ownership.
