C:\Documents and Settings is not accessible. Acess is Denied. I also get this message on other folders too. Thanks for any help on this.	ric (14256)

You may need to do this (support.microsoft.com),but let us know what the situation is before doing that as taking ownership of a user folder in the wrong situation can be very bad.	wratterus (105)

If you're running Vista there is no native 'Documents and Settings' folder, it's the 'Users' folder. Did this 'Documents and Settings' folder appear when you reinstalled Vista, or is it one you've put there later on? www.vistax64.com That's the same instructions but for Vista - I think you'd be safe trying that as there's no way the Docs and Settings folder is needed for your user account to run. Option Two would be the easiest option to try.	wratterus (105)
