• Invisible - Missing FOLDER - C:\Documents and Settings (not will appear in Explorer) in Windows 7

  Re: Invisible - missing FOLDER - C:\Documents and Settings (not will appear in Explorer) in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I have a stable working version of Windows 7 Pro.  (Yes sfc/scannow and chkdsk are 100%)  BUT here's my question and the problem...

  Recently, all of a sudden - my file C:\Documents and settings folder (and of course all of the many folders and files it contains) is no longer present in the computer of Windows / Explorer.

  Yes - I removed the skin system files in folder options (I'm relatively warned these basic commands) and all my other system hidden files appear perfectly.

  Moreover, I KNOW that this directory and the files are still there on the drive, and Yes, they are immediately, when I use the command line (back of the old black box window) in administrator mode.

  Once again all the folders and files in C:\documents and settings are always there (using the cd and dir/p orders) when you use the editor command line (cmd).

  I even tried to change the parameters of security using Icacls and delivered successfully as Administrators security settings: F and system: F but nothing appears in the Explorer.

  I also tried to change the command attrib to this directory with my very basic command-line skills.

  The computer still works fine - as many of you probably know the C:\documents and settings folder is really an older and former OS directory now used for programs inherited, replaced by C:\Users... etc.

  But why have - so MS put in the OS. There are of course good reasons so - I want show back again.

  I tried a system restore but I only got one and it can also have been corrupted since it took me a day or two to notice.

  In summary, when a directory and files 'all of a sudden disappear completely' use widely and all days 'window of windows Explorer normal 7' you know that something is badly broken in the operating system.

  BTW - Yes all Windows 7 updates made and successful... (no easy feat)

  Any ideas out there your technical assistants.

  Thanks in advance

  They do, but I do not really recommend yet.  But I at least trust him more than any 3rd party.  It is not a download if it is an online as part of the Windows Live Safety Scanner scanner.

  And as I went to look for a link, it seems that safety.live.com now re - headed the new scanner, which is a download :)
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  I don't think that this news has a record cleaning component.  But as I said, is never necessary.  The invalid entries in the registry do slow down your startup time, or cause any problem, unless of course, you get an error message because another program tried to use an entry invalid.  But automated scanners are much too aggressive.  He thinks that an entry is not used, doesn't mean some program, somewhere, some time want.

• moving documents and settings from the old hard drive to a hard drive nine folder

  I have a new computer. I installed a hard drive from my old computer to the new, which is not the one that starts more. But. There still my documents and settings directory. Because windows is so smart and "documents and settings is not a folder more", it won't let me access my old Vista documents and settings folder that is bloody well a real folder. I am so bored on this subject. Any ideas what to do?

• Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

  Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

  By definition, this folder should contain only the elements you don't need.  If I understand correctly, this temporary folder is a place where temporary files are stored during program facilities and the facilities.  However, I have seen references other sites to help saying some programs can store folders and files.

  I do my own temporary file elsewhere, name it accordingly and move all the files in the temp folder to the new folder. Use your computer normally for a while, and if nothing complains about missing files, you have a good indication that none of the moved files are important and should be safe to delete.

• more than one profile under documents and settings administrator

  Under Documents and Settings, there are several 'profiles administrator ";  Administrator, Administrator.COMPUTER, Administrator.COMPUTER.000, Administrator.COMPUTER.001, etc. 002, 003.

  Can all but removed the 'administrator' basis or all files within other profiles must be copied to the basic?

  The profile currently in use is the one that you will not be able to delete the user profile settings screen when logged in as a user.
  Another way to determine is to log on as administrator and create a single named file on your desktop.  Then search in different "Documents and records for the Administrator.xxx Settings/Administrator.xxx/Desktop that contains the file that you created on the desktop.  This will be the current profile.  If you do not use the administrator account, normally while there may be no file user useful to save the other profiles.

• 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.

  See here for more information about Junction Points:

• I lost my documents and settings to windows 7 how folder to restore?

  I accidentally deleted my documents and settings folder in popular 7 How do I restore or take another?

  1. check that the Documents & settings is actually deleted, rather than simply hidden from view. Windows Explorer, Union, file & search options, view tab to view hidden folders and clear the Hide protected operating system files [a few lines below the item in the list of hidden folders].

  2 - made command prompt right click on the command prompt entry into all programs, accessories, and select run as administrator.

  3 - this procedure system restore returns the system files to the State they were at the time of the restore point was created.  But I have never seen a report of anyone removing the Documents & settings before folder so I don't know that the restoration would correct this particular problem.  This comment also applies to running sfc / scannow.

  4 new admin - account when I created a new Admin account, all existing programs were available, and it is the behavior, I expect in all cases.  You won't see any desktop shortcuts because they belong to each account, but programs should be in the Start button, all programs lists.  You can get access authorization in the administrator account to access your existing user account & copy from there, desktop shortcuts if you wish but you must a first full backup or your next routine backup of user account will consider each unique as user data file being modified.  After you change the permissions, you can then run [I think you need a command prompt to run as administrator again] attrib - a/s of your folder my documents [check syntax using attrib /?] to reset all the data user file archive bits & therefore prevent everything back up again.

  5 reinstaling the OS solve the missing documents & settings folder.  I've seen discussions in this forum about putting on another partition data files, but you will need to pick up this topic because I never paid much attention to it.  Before doing [and this is just speculation], try to run then by saving a file from your older pre-Win7 application to see if Win7 itself can recreate the Documents & Settings folder when an older application that calls a configuration file or a backup procedure.  If it works, it would save you a lot of aggravation.  Alternatively, since the Documents & Settings folder must be called on what using an old pre-Win7 application, if your older application may perform & record properly without it then don't bother doing a re-install at all.

  Good luck with everything cela - and once more just to avoid misunderstandings, I've never seen a report on the Documents & Settings folder has been deleted, so I can't give advice without the benefit of a direct experience.

• 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.

• Why don't I have access to the files in the documents and settings, etc.. How can I change this?

  Original title: Documents & Settings

  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.

• 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.

• Locked files - Documents and Settings

  My "Documents and Settings" folder on my drive C: is locked - it has a lock on the file. I have nothing changes that. I am the administrator, logged as such. I can't watch the folder, change its security settings - I do nothing with it. I have other folders with the same thing, including my profile under "Users" folder

  It is an upgrade from Vista, but it's a basic configuration of vista, one user (me) and nothing else installed as it was a new hard drive.

  Why the hell my files on my computer, are locked for me?

• How can I get WindowsExplorer to a "LOCKED" folder "Documents and Settings".

  Using Win-7-home-Prem - I believe that the "Documents and Settings" folder is 'locked' and is not accessible through Windows Explorer file manager.  .
  I am the only user of the UAC - and show as an administrator.  I tried two ways to install - as administrator WITH and WITHOUT a partner... user password but it seemed to make no difference.

  I tried to change the "sharing", and the permissions associated with that folder and its content - but after completing the steps, "If APPLICABLE" returns a failure message.

  Whether or not it is wise to have access to the file in this folder, there no way to do this?

  Thank you

  Documents and Settings is not a real file in Windows 7.

  It is called a crossroads and was created to allow the existing programs for interfacing with the Windows 7 folder structure.

  Windows 7 uses these files

  Username C:\Users\*Your * \Appdata

  Username C:\Users\*Your * \Documents

  AppData is a hidden folder.
