• 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  To ensure compatibility with older programs, these older cases have been replaced by The junction Points.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.

• Is it possible to move documents and settings to a new hhd folder as you can do with the folder my documents?

  I have a 12g and a 180g hhd. my 12g holds my bones and im running out of room on that. was wondering if I could move the documents and record setting as well as all the files into it without having to copy my operating system on a partition on my disk with greater capacity.

  There is a way, but it is risky and unsupported by Microsoft.  If you try it, make sure you have a good backup of your system and know how to restore a system that won't start plu with it.

• Refuse access to documents and settings to Windows 7 Administrator

  Full installation of Windows 7 from MS was purchased in 2010 (now beyond the time of MS support) on a brand new computer. User account unique (me) with full administrator rights and access (so I thought). Last week for the 1st time, I had access to the Documents & settings. Surprise! Folder is locked and denies me access, no matter what I do with all the settings. "You don't have access to this folder", and he denies me, the administrator, the rights to make the changes.  Since I was a year + applications and files installed on this thing, I shudder to anticipate a reinstallation of the system address. Any ideas on how to unlock this file?  There may be others that I don't have reason to still access, but it's one important right now.  NOTE: I'm an experienced user, but NOT a geek, so a large part of the jargon 'inside baseball' is over my head, but I'm uncomfortable procedures, even in the registry (very clear instructions please). I'd appreciate any help that anyone is kind enough to offer.

  In Windows 7, "Documents & settings" are not a real folder but a point of redirection for poorly designed applications.

  Your files are in C:\Users\YourUserName\

• 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.

• Where can I find the Documents and Settings folder or the folder on Vista?

  I need to find a Real Player file file so I can delete it, but am unable to find the floder Documents and Settings.  I need to delete a file called treestate.dat but am unable to find... Help, please!

  In Windows Vista user profiles

  In Windows XP, 2000, 2003, user profiles are stored in c:\Documents and Settings. In Windows Vista, the profiles are now stored in c:\Users. You will see a folder c:\Documents and Settings in Windows Explorer in Vista, but you will also notice the shortcut icon on the folder, and you will not be able to access this folder. c:\Documents and Settings is now a junction Point. You can use the random dir command to see where c:\Documents and Settings point to or use the table below.

  The following table lists the old profile path and the new path under Windows Vista.

  Old path	New path
  \Documents and Settings	\Users
  \Documents and Settings\Default User or %LogonServer%\NETLOGON\Default user	\USERS\DEFAULT or %LogonServer%\NETLOGON\Default
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents	\Users\\Documents
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My photos	\Users\\Pictures
  \Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My Music	\Users\\Music
  \Documents and Settings\\Favorites	\Users\\Favorites
  N/A	\Users\\Contacts
  N/A	\Users\personal
  N/A	\Users\\SavedGames
  \Documents and Settings\Change Data	\Users\\AppData\Roaming
  \Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data	\Users\\AppData\Local
  \Documents and Settings\\Start Menu	\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\ start Menu
  \Documents and Settings\All Users	\Users\Public
  \Documents and Settings\All Users Menu	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu
  \Documents and Settings\All Users\Bureau	\Users\Public\Desktop

  Records to take note of here are the folders in the path of all users. Many legacy applications that use outdated methods to solve the system folders, will solve the railways under C:\ProgramData when looking for common places. For example, the joint office can be resolved as C:\ProgramData\Desktop, however; This is actually a point of junction for C:\ProgramData\Users\Public\Desktop. A random entry in the C:\ProgramData folder dir reveals the following Junction Points:

  Path	Points to
  Data \ProgramData\Application	\ProgramData
  \ProgramData\Desktop	\Users\Public\Desktop
  \ProgramData\Documents	\Users\Public\Documents
  \ProgramData\Favorites	\Users\Public\Favorites
  Menu \ProgramData\Start	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu
  \ProgramData\Templates	\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Templates

• Copy of Documents and Settings

  I have a new computer and am trying to copy my files (using an external hard drive) from my old C:\ drive to my new. Everything went very well except:

  There is a folder in my "Documents and Settings" in Windows Explorer. I never use it because I have set up my own "file" based entirely on the subfolders and files in Windows Explorer. However, Windows continues to put 'stuff' in 'Documents and Settings '. When I tried to copy this folder (to be on the safe side) copy was refused due to the presence of the file NTUSER. DAT and ntuser.dat.LOG in C:\Documents and administrator and NTUSER. DAT and NTUSER. DAT. Log in to C:\Documents and Settings\Default User.

  Thus, three questions:

  1 do I Documents and Settings or can I ignore this and stop trying to transfer files?

  2. If I need this file, I can just safely transfer files and folders without transferring the NTUSER files?

  3. What are these NTUSER files?

  Thank you very much.

  This is correct, the Documents & Settings folder on winxp contains user win data files.

  But in your case, apparently you have stored your data elsewhere files.

  Transfer data from your backup to the locations of the Win7 library (Documents, music, videos & pictures)

  You can still use a folder structure in each of these places

• Windows.Old does not list the "Documents and Settings".

  I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my main hard drive of workstations.  I looked online and saw a lot of messages on many sites saying that all my old documents of the previous version of Windows (XP that wouldn't start) should be available in the Windows.old folder, in a subfolder called Documents and Settings.  The only folders that are weProgram Files and Windows.  I tried to take possession of the entire record and made sure that Windows displays the hidden files and folders.  My username has the administrator capabilities.  I'mREALLY hoping that the files are not entirely lost.  All that I'm missing?

  Hello
  
  Documents and settings folder must exist inside the windows.old. Check if the file is hidden and also check the Recycle Bin folder is deleted by mistake.
  Or you can also use windows search to search for any document in this folder to track the location of the folder.
   
  I hope this helps.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• All Windows XP Documents and Settings folder names caps

  We use XP in a business environment. Recently, we have noticed that some user in "Documents and Settings" folders on a particular machine have changed randomly to be appointed with all caps. This causes problems with their profiles. What could have caused this?

  In addition, some files have changed to say the username followed by a point and our domain name. Do not know what is happening. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Windows keeps cases in the names of files and folders, but when you access to files and folders, it is case-insensitive (i.e. upper/lower case is not serious).

  Records of the changing profile of user name directly to a username followed by a point and a domain name, on the other hand, comes following a corrupt user profile.  Corrupted user profiles usually occur as a result of (or comes from) the corruption of the file system.  Corruption of system files may result in the capitalization of the problems that you notice.  To recover a corrupted user profile, choose your method of the following:
