Access to "Documents & Settings"

[CodyB65]

Hello All,

I have my mothers harddrive from another (dead) computer, and she wants some important files from this HD. I tried to gain access thru security and I cannot move the files off the drive. Some Photos cannot be viewed.

How can I get myself full permission of drive.

Thanks,

Cody B

'Documents and Settings' does not exist in Vista, except as a hard link to the Users folder - if your tryng to open it in Explorer give up now before you do some damage

Look in the Users folder instead - it has pretty much the same structure.

Also, I wouldn't try to move the files--just copy them. The move does a copy and delete. You can always reformat the drive later to wipe off everything and refresh it.
