| | Access to 'Documents & Settings' Denied My 'User Account Type' is 'Administrator', yet access is denied when I try and enter Documents & Settings. This has just started to happen. I must have ticked a box somewhere! Any ideas how I can regain access? |

| | Remove the hidden and read only attributes of the files you are trying to access. Someone on this forum had the same problem a couple of days ago. |

| | Hello, There are a few things you can try. First, right-click on the folder and select Properties. In the Security tab, make sure you have permissions. You can also try taking ownership of the folder: Take Ownership of file - Vista Forums If all else fails, you can try a System Restore to get to a point before the troubles began: System Restore |

| | Thanks.... problem sorted. My logic was in XP mode!! What I realise is that I actually needed to access 'ProgramData'. Cheers for your efforts. |
