Access denied to privileges ents and settings

Access
Denied? But I'm an admin you say! You cannot access folders like "Local
Settings "," my clients "and" Application Data "because in Vista they
Are actually located elsewhere. The dim icons with the shortcut links
You see are actually referred to as "junctions". These junctions are
Used by vista for compatibility but really just redirect programs
The proper location in Vista. Now it wocould be helpful if the windows
File explorer treated these like shortcuts and took you to the new
Location, but instead you get the very intuitive "not accessible "/
"Access Denied" error, leaving you to think changing permissions may be
A good idea. Don't. Leave them alone and let Vista Do It's thing. As
Savvy Vista user, you shoshould go to the new "proper" location and
Identify these locations as legacy remnants of days past.

Access denied? But I am a required administrator! You cannot access
Settings "," My Documents "and" Application Data "folders because they are placed elsewhere in Vista. The gray icons with shortcuts are actually called "junctions ). These convergence points are used in Vista for compatibility with previous versions, but are actually directed to other locations in the Vista system. In this way, file explorer in Windows can take you to a new location just like a shortcut. However, you may also encounter problems such as "not accessible "/
The error of "Access Denied" makes you think about changing user permissions. No! Put them aside and let Vista do their own thing. As a smart user, you should go to the new folder location and regard these old folders as relics of the past.

So what is what? Here is a quick dump from my system to help define strate junction points and where they point programs...

Which folder corresponds to which folder. The following are some collections in my system to help identify which ones are junction (and where at the same time )......

 

Directory of C:/programdata

Application Data [C:/programdata]
Desktop [C:/users/public/desktop]
Documents [C:/users/public/documents]
Favorites [C:/users/public/favorites]
Start Menu [C:/programdata/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu]
Templates [C:/programdata/Microsoft/Windows/templates]

 

Directory of C:/users/Bob Kelly

Application Data [C:/users/Bob Kelly/appdata/Roaming]
Cookies [C:/users/Bob Kelly/appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/cookies]
Local Settings [C:/users/Bob Kelly/appdata/local]
My documents [C:/users/Bob Kelly/Documents ENTs]
Nethood [C:/users/Bob Kelly/appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/network shortcuts]
Printhood [C:/users/Bob Kelly/appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/printer shortcuts]
Recent [C:/users/Bob Kelly/appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/recent]
Sendto [C:/users/Bob Kelly/appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/sendto]
Start Menu [C:/users/Bob Kelly/appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu]
Templates [C:/users/Bob Kelly/appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/templates]

 

Curious about your own particle system? While replacing my name
With your own will likely do the trick, you can see just what your
System thinks of these junction points by opening a command prompt as Administrator
And
Using the/Al switch provided by the Dir command. navigate you way
The folder in which you want to look and run "DIR/Al" or from the root
Run "DIR/Al/s" to dig through all the directories on your system.
