You simply have a permission rights issue. Maybe the link will help you in someway. http://preview.tinyurl.com/sbm34 |

There is no need to access those folders. See my reply to the OP. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |

You only saw those folders because you elected to show hidden files/folders and display protected Operating system files and folders. They are hidden for a reason. You don't need access to them. They hold no data. All they contain is a pointer to the actual folder where the data is kept. They are actual a junction point. Certain folders used in XP, such as these, were brought into Vista for compatibility for legacy apps. They are not used to store data. They appear dimmed with the shortcut arrow and give access denied. If you want to see what folder it points to, open a elevated command prompt, navigate to the folder that contains the folder in question and give the command: dir /al Junction points are designated by <Junction> and the folder to which it points is at the end of the line in square brackets. Do not change the permissions on these junction points. It can cause problems for the same legacy apps they are they for in the first place. From a post by Jimmy Brush here is a list of the these XP folders and their corresponding locations in Vista: Windows XP Location Windows Vista Location \Documents and Settings \Users \Documents and Settings\$USER$\My Documents \Users\$USER$\Documents \Documents and Settings\$USER$\My Documents\My Music \Users\$USER$\Music \Documents and Settings\$USER$\My Documents\My Pictures \Users\$USER$\Pictures \Documents and Settings\$USER$\My Documents\My Videos \Users\$USER$\Videos \Documents and Settings\$USER$\Application Data \Users\$USER$\AppData\Roaming \Documents and Settings\$USER$\Cookies \Users\$USER$\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies \Documents and Settings\$USER$\Local Settings \Users\$USER$\AppData\Local \Documents and Settings\$USER$\NetHood \Users\$USER$\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts \Documents and Settings\$USER$\PrintHood \Users\$USER$\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Printer Shortcuts \Documents and Settings\$USER$\Recent \Users\$USER$\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent \Documents and Settings\$USER$\SendTo \Users\$USER$\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo \Documents and Settings\$USER$\Start Menu \Users\$USER$\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu \Documents and Settings\$USER$\Templates \Users\$USER$\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Templates \Documents and Settings\$USER$\Local Settings\Application Data \Users\$USER$\AppData\Local \Documents and Settings\$USER$\Local Settings\History \Users\$USER$\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History \Documents and Settings\$USER$\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files \Users\$USER$\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files \Documents and Settings\All Users \ProgramData \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data \ProgramData \Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop \Users\Public\Desktop \Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents \Users\Public\Documents \Documents and Settings\All Users\Favorites \Users\Public\Favorites \Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu \Documents and Settings\All Users\Templates \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Templates \Documents and Settings\Default User \Users\Default " -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |
