• c:\Documents and settings is not accessible. Access is denied

  Even if my user account appears under my being the administrator, it is still not allow me access to my documents and settings files.  It is said to "c:\documents and settings is not accessible. Access is denied. "When I came to my computer, I know I opened at least two accounts, both with full administrator access, and yet the account opens is called"Judy"which is my name and at the same time, I'm sure to set up he asked me who has computer it was, so I wrote my name, but when I connect to my computer the account that opens is called"Judy"that even if I never named an account, it is still the only account he allows me to open. When I go to the command prompt to change user names, the screen goes black, and this same account "Judy" appears towards the top and asks for my password.  Simply, it will not show two accounts that I actually put in place.  I followed the instructions from the answer to someone else who has had a similar problem and he showed how you can determine if the account you are using is a standard or administrative account.  I did what told him to do and he came that Judy was indeed an administrator account. I was also able to show the names of all accounts on this computer and stood in the two accounts I made, of which none were called Judy, so I know that these accounts are in there, somewhere and why they are not listed when I ask to change user accounts is a mystery to me.  I've been going around in circles with this.  Everybody out there familiar with this kind of madness?  Any help is appreciated.

  Documents and Settings is not a real file in Windows 7. It is a junction which is configured to allow existing programs to interface with the Windows 7 folder structure.

  Instead, Windows 7 uses these files:

  C:\Users\*your User Name * \My Documents

  and

  Username C:\Users\*Your * \Appdata

  (appdata is a hidden folder)

  Look in C:\Users to see which accounts exist.

  Also you can access the control panel > user accounts to edit.

• Deliver the profile of the user - My Documents folder moved to C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP. I can't view or access this folder to copy My Documents back. Help?

  XP Home SP3 on my laptop (no not in network - independent).

  After an Adobe Reader 10 X installed, there is a reboot, and when I logged in the profile that appeared was not mine - it was as if it was a new installation. I looked for my personal documents under My Documents and did not find them. So, I looked for them on the C: drive, found (no not noted where), and copied My Documents to what seemed like the name /my Documents /. After that, I could access my documents by clicking Start-My Documents online. I did another reboot. Now, after login, my old profile is displayed, and the My Documents folder is empty except for the value by default my pictures, my music, my videos, and favorite - and these are all basically empty.

  I then ran a program Search and Recover to find my documents - they were found under C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\. Unfortunately, I can't seem to see that to explore (I have it configured to display the hidden files and folders). Is it possible to go to this folder and the moving my Documents back to my profile?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can view these methods:

  Method 1:

  Check to see if the problem exists in Safe Mode, if the computer works as expected in mode without failure, then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state.
  a. refer to the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP
  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  b. it is a possibility that there is a startup program that is launched with a command line and it appears.
  You need to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing and then disable or remove.

  Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow the steps as explained in the article to reset the computer to start as usual.

  Method 2:

  System Restore takes a "snapshot" of critical system files and some program files and the registry settings and stores this information as restore points. If your computer is not working properly, you can use these points to return Windows XP to a previous state when your computer was working properly restore. It can also change scripts, batch files, and other types of executable files on your computer.

• Need to access the 'Documents and Settings' folder in Windows 7

  I am importing an ArcMAP GIS project to my new Windows 7 computer (the project was launched on Windows XP).  Because the files in this project were initially located in the subdirectories of the "Documents and Settings" folder, map search these files in this folder.  So, I need to access this folder if I put the files in the location that arcmap is expected to make them, or that I inform manually map the new location, one at a time, hundreds and hundreds of files.  Is there a way I can access the "Documents and Settings" folder to add new subdirectories and files in it?  After some research, I found the folder, but I said that I don't have authority (even as an administrator) to access and modify the content of the folder.  Thank you

• Access denied on a "documents and settings" folder in windows 7 with administrator rights

  I get access denied on the ' c: \documents and settings "in windows 7 with administrator rights.  The icon shows a small lock on the (very cute) folder. Permissions indicate full control to the folder. I can only access the contents of the folder by adding it to the library folder. The computer is fairly recent and is very near of the original factory. Unlike my precious computers I left it mostly original except for the odd new program. I never really noticed when it pops up as I was getting used to format windows 7 and thought that it must be "the new way" to 7 " The disk has been partitioned by Asus, which significantly added to the confusion. Now I think that it why documents and settings would be in the same folder anyway?  What is a level administrator uber folder? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

  "Documents and Settings" are not a folder - it's a junction Point.

  It is there to allow legacy applications using the latest Windows 7 folder structure.

  There is nothing in what you can use.

• access to documents and settings in windows 7

  I'm having a problem of password for download.  Download provider, HDTracks, advises as last resort to remove it is a temporary file in Documents and Settings.  My problem is with windows 7, I can't open this file with a message "access denied."  This is the first windows system, I used in which takes place this denial. No matter if this access will eliminate my problem, I want to know how I regain control of my system.  I am the administrator.

  "Documents and Settings" is not a file in the usual sense of the term - it is a junction point.

  Junction Points are just "pointers" - they are there only to allow software to use the new structure of file of Windows Vista/7.

  There are others.

  Here is a table of all the points of junction and the actual files they point out:

  C:\Documents and Settings - C:\Users\{user name} \Documents
  Application Data - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming
  Cookies - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies
  History - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History
  Locale - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Local
  NetHood - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network shortcuts
  Print neighborhood - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Printer shortcuts
  {Recent - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent
  SendTo - name C:\Users\{user} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
  Start Menu - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
  Models - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Roaming
  Temporary Internet files - C:\Users\{user name} \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

  There is nothing that you can use in these files, even if you access them, so there is no point in even trying.

  Hello

  Since Windows XP, in the last several versions of Windows, there are many changes for the names and locations of some Windows system folders .

  To ensure compatibility with older programs, these older cases have been replaced by The junction Points. A junction Point is designed to redirect programs more alumni who are hard coded to look for the former name of folder for the new file name and the location in Windows.

  An example is the C:\Documents and Settings folder. The new name and the location of this folder is C:\Users. In Windows 8, you will see a folder C:\Documents and Settings , but it should be noted that this record contains a shortcut arrow on the folder icon. He identifies it as a junction.

  Junction points all than its guarantee of value everyone = access denied.

  Note: Do not attempt to modify the security settings on a junction. This can cause programs to stop work and possibly corrupt the file system.

  Let us know if you have any other questions.

• Problem WORD PAD under Windows 7. A screen undeletable app crashes me to access my saved documents and may not be x'd out.

  When I opened Word Pad (successfully) in Windows 7, a problem blocking me to access my saved documents previously.  Rather than open the document saved as I click (to open saved documents) in the list of documents in the "document library", has downplayed the app screen appears on the window of the library of Documents and this application cannot be deleted because by clicking x on the top right does nothing.
  Using Safe Mode clumsily make you a previously saved in Word Pad document more. But it is not populate the list in the list of recent Documents in Word Pad. And in Safe Mode, it is displayed in a broken (and difficult to use) manner.
  Word Starter villainous blocking app appears as an opening window reduced titled Microsoft Word Starter 2010 (whatever it is), who appears on the document library list window and cannot be deleted.  When I try to x this unwanted App (top right of the application) to raise and close (because he keeps me to access my saved documents) nothing happens.  The x (close) or dash (minimize (-) button (upper-right corner of the app minimized window) do anything.)  If I can't access any of my saved Word Pad documents.  But I peut begin a new document again using the fresh blank document that appears when I open Word Pad, or open a new empty menu, which means Word Pad works fine.
  So I tried to solve the problem in uninstallation of Microsoft Office (which I don't use) it would uninstall the unwanted Word Starter 2010 application.  However, the problem still exists, and the unwanted app reappears every time I try to open my documents previously stored in the document library list.  And when I tried to search my computer for this unwanted Microsoft Word 2010 application to delete, I couldn't find any trace of it, anywhere.  There must be a hidden application.
  Not only that, but when I open freshly Word Pad - a list of recent Documents (in the menu option extreme top left (that I had used to open with) is inexplicably empty, but it will display all of my saved documents previously (on the right side).    Another method, that I've used to access documents in Word Pad was to click on my icon in taskbar (where I pinned the little icon to access Word Pad), but the list of my previous documents is therefore more in the field of small options which is the opposite, I used to be able to access my Word Pad documents recorded directly. The list is gone.
  So when I click on one of the documents stored in the document library list, that he does not attend the Word Pad at all, but rather, the unwanted app appears in front of the document library, list of blocking and cannot be deleted.  Only when I go out the document library he disappears with the window of the document library itself.
  Can you please tell me how I can remove the screen yellow reduced app unwanted (Word Starter 2010) to block my access to one of my Word Pad documents.  Right now, Safe Mode is the only way to access the Word Pad documents, and it's a way uncomfortable to do.
  I just want to make Microsoft Word Starter 2010 stop appearing when I don't need too and make it capable of being x'd out of the screen.

• Why is access to Documents and settings denied?

  When I try to opne Documents and setting I get an error box that says access denied. I am the only user and I am registered as an administrator. There is a little lock icon file name. What is and how to remove?

  It's just programs them to fool the bad that he search by name.  Many bad programs were written to try to find this folder by name, and these programs break if they can't find it.

  Not quite true - Windows folder structure has been redesigned in Vista/7 and these junction points are there mainly to allow programs that were written for XP to use the new Vista/7 folder structure. Not much to do with the bad programs, just legacy programs

  (The fact that many programs written for XP does not WORK on Vista/7, is a different story!)
