    I've minimized ALL UAC settings so I should be able to access all the folders in Docs & Settings, but it won't even let me into the initial folder.

    WHAT GIVES?

    Thanks Steve for the quick reply, however, I'm still not able to get into the folder with my name, or All Users. Pls advise?

    Hello,

    You could Take Ownership of the files http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1911-take-ownership-shortcut.html but make sure you don't alter the permission System files or anything. You might see Documents and Setting on Windows 7 don't change the permission to that folder because it's just a redirect for old program compatibility.

    Hope this help !
