Original title: Documents & Settings

I am the administrator of my new computers.  I just upgraded from XP to Windows 7.  Why don't I have access to all parts of my computer?  i.e. folders in documents and settings, etc.  How can I change this?

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To ensure compatibility with older programs, these older cases have been replaced by The junction Points.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