Cannot access Docs & Settings folder

Any particular reason I cannot view the contents of this folder? When I check
permissions, it says that my profile and Admin have full control. Yet, when
I try to open it, I get Access Denied messages for that folder. Can you folks
view this folder, or is it verboten in this beta?

Re: Cannot access Docs & Settings folder

The Documents and Settings folder has been replaced by the Users folder.

I think it is just there for some kind of backwards compatibility and is not
able to be browsed to

Re: Cannot access Docs & Settings folder

Yeah, if I had Googled a bit longer I'd have found that out. Still, it would
have been nice if MS could have generated a simple dialog to tell beta users
that. Sigh......
