Windows 7: Obsolete folders

Obsolete folders

I upgraded from XP to 7Pro using the clean install option and used the Easy Transfer facility. I now have a number of folders in Explorer that look like old WP folders eg My Documents, Application Data, Documents and Settings which all appear empty and when I try to open them I get a message to say they are not accessible. Are these hang overs from XP and can I delete them?
Thanks
Tony

They are there on all Windows 7 installations. They are called Junction Points are are there to make older software happy. Leave them alone.

You're welcome Tony. Seems to be a fairly common question.
