• 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)

  Disable the Indexing Service
  Uninstall the applications that you use is no longer

  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.

• 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:

• With Windows XP SP3: How to find the temporary Internet files in C:\Documents and Settings of the user?

  While making a sweep of the AV, I see the files under analysis I want to remove it from my computer. All I can remember for the location of the files is C:\Documents and Settings of the user... I guess that the question is what will be called as temporary Internet files (under Windows 95). What should I do to access the folder where the files are stored?

  Tools / folder options. Discover tab show hidden and protected system files

  Use ccleaner do... Install, then run it.

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

• 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:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• How can I access the Documents and settings folder in Windows 7?

  Been searching the Internet for solutions, but found nothing.

  Documents and Settings is not a real issue, and it contains all of the files.  It's a point of junction : a hidden and protected operating system file that is present for compatibility with some older programs.  He points to the real user C:\Users folder. Boulder computer Maven
