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  To ensure compatibility with older programs, these older cases have been replaced by The junction Points.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

• Two questions. We wish to remove the Vista and download XP Pro and would not let me explore the "Document and Settings" in the C"" drive.

  Mr President

  Buy a laptop the year last Dell with VISTA. It won't let me partition (including shrinkage etc.). No matter where you go that it denied access, including loading the program. Search function I'm trying to understand for a year yet, I can't find.

  I want to explore the "Document and Settings", but access is denied.

  Finally, I gave up on VISTA now that I bought a XP Pro... Tried to format the drive it did not show me the hard drive.

  Direct booting from cd said that it found no hard drive to load. I am just desperate and sick of this VISTA. Please help to get rid of this OS.

  I'll be eternally grateful to you if you can help me. The newest...

  Above is the reason why you can not access it!

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

  Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

  Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

  Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

• 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.

• error code while trying to open the photos include JPEG and BMP files: C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\My Documents\My Pictures\img005.jpg is not a valid Win32 application

  I withdrew just a very good old scanner which apparently couldn't handle the recent installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 or 3, and went with a rather nice Epson V330 Photo.   I uninstalled all old software, want my images to JPEG and BMP to open in Adobe PhotoShop Elements 8 for editing and development.  It is my job and my hobby and means of photography technique.  I reinstalled the scanner by removing the Arcsoft software with which it has been furnished, which is not really suitable for what I do.

  Now, I can not open JPEG in PhotoShop Elements 8.0 and here I get the error message:

  C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\My Documents\My Pictures\img005.jpg is not a valid Win32 application

  It seems to have something to do with the hack with the folder options after that I spilled the Arcsoft as any kind of primary program.

  BUT I have to open JPEG files, and it MUST be in PhotoShop Elements 8, I bought.  I can see, overview and could open to the limited capacity of some of the ArcSoft stuff, but I'm not interested in distance using that.

  How can I get these files/folders to open in something useful?  I was able to create JPEG on the new scanner, but now my computer opens not those or 'old' of my files.   See the warning message.

  I'm trying to uninstall all the software now and do not reinstall the stuff of Arcsoft, which would not be useful for me in any setting.   But I do not think that this will be the solution, as my computer can not open these key files in PhotoShop Elements 8.0.

  I think it's something I did during the passage, but I did system restore and NO RESULT.  NONE!

  If you open a directory of photos and go to the thumbnail view in Explorer, they display the thumbnails correctly?
   
  I think that you need to reset the file association for programs that open the image files.  Try a right-click on a jpeg file and go to properties and click on the button to edit, and then designate PS elements 8 as the top program open with, and then see if it works very well.
   
  You can also check the settings in the registry for the types of image files.  Seewww.oehelp.com/noimg.aspx , which deals with a related issue.

• C:\Documents and Settings is not Accessible

  Hello
  Is anyone have the answer to this question?
  How is it that my default user that I created when I first set up my MS Vista SP1 may not access the C:\Document and Settings folder. The user is configured as an administrator, as surely as this user can go anywhere.
  I created other users as administrators and they can access this folder. It's just my first user I created this problem, why is this?

  Anyone who has any suggestions I'd be happy to hear

  Thanks Martin

  The Cocuments and settings folder is intentionally blocked even for administrators because it is now a junction point. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb968829 (VS.85) .aspx.  It is not the actual location of these files - it is just there for backward compatibility with previous to Vista programs.  Real data are the users (which you have some access, yet there is some files which are also the junction points).  It is blocked by the granting of all user access to the folder (which effectively blocks administrators even fall in the).  It is important not to change anything in these folders and your programs can stop working correctly - that's why they are blocked.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  Hello Qtermile14.

  In Windows Vista, the Documents and Settings folder is not a real file.  It's just a junction for compatibility, that is why its hidden.  Your files are now living in the users folder.

• 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.

• 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.

• In XP Documents and Settings, are files under Admin, default user, all users, and duplicate files etc?

  I see in Windows XP under Documents and Settings administrator, all users, default user and owner records. This is a duplication of files? I'm trying to clean up my hard drive and I would like to have just a structure, such as the owner or the administrator. Can I get rid of all the others and save a workspace of dick? How do I do that?

  * original title - more disk space? *

  N ° don't get rid of one of these data structures, or later, you'll be sorry.

  For everyday use, you should use the profile of 'owner '.  All your documents, music, images and other data must be different subdirectories to the title of owner.

  The administrator is a built-in account for emergency use administrator privileges (for example, if your daily profile becomes corrupted).  Probably, you don't see administrator on the Welcome screen.

  Every user is an account that is used to share data between different users.  If there is only a single user defined on your computer, there should be very little in every user account in the "My Documents" of this profile part, but some applications that you have installed may have placed hidden files in different folders in the profile all users.

  Default user is a model that is used to create new user profiles.

  If you are interested in which is placed on your hard drive, download and run JDiskReport.

  If you fear that you progress low hard drive space, there are a few things you can do, but all of them are essentially temporary measures.  If you're really under out of space on your hard drive, you can buy a bigger hard drive.

  Run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr.exe > OK)
  Adjust system restore space
  Disable the Indexing Service
  Uninstall the applications that you use is no longer

• Why have I not 2 folders of paper? We are in c:\documents and settings and the other in c:\users

  I have 2 files in Windows 7 and they appear almost the same. One is c:\documents and settings\name\Mydocuments and the other is c:\users\name\MyDocuments. Can I move all the files the c:\users folder and then delete the folder c:\documents and settings?

  They are the same file.

  C:\Documents and Settings\ is an alias used to ensure the compatibility of older programs.

  This name is hidden if you are using the default options in the Folder Options > view. Unchecking "Hide protected operating system files" causes the file name to become visible.
