When I attempt to open Documents and settings, a screen says access denied. How can you get around this?

Hello Nolen,

Do not take ownership of this link.

The Documents and settings folder is a junction point, and not an actual folder. It's for backwards compatibility for older programs created only for older Windows.

The C:\Documents and Settings folder in older Windows (XP and older) has been replaced by the C:\Users and C:\ProgramData in Vista and newer.
