Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Today by accident i move a folder with Gb of files to the documts and settings folder and i was thinking all are lose because i can't enter there, but again thanks to for your info, i recover all.
I have 2 windows 7 bit users, my issue is that one of them I can see the Document and Settings folder after you unhide it, the other one I cannot.
Also you can change the ownership of the Document and Settings folder you just have to right click on the Document and Settings Folder select properties, then click on the security tab at the top, then highlight the user that you want to have rights to that folder, click full control in the check box, but don't know click apply then click on the advanced tab you will notice that all of the check before it goes to the next box that pulls up will be grayed out, then you will hightlight the user again on the next window that pops up select change premissions for full control then click apply and now the user has full control over the documents and settings folder.
I did that yesterday on one of the machine that was running Windows 7 bit, but my issue is with the other one. After I unhide hiden folders it will not show Documents and Settings, only users. Do you know where else it would be hiding?
If Documents and Settings no longer exists or is a 'symbolic junction', how come it can contain actual files? Presumably a 'library' is a 'virtual file' containbing shortcut-like pointers to actual files contained elsewhere on one's hard drive. After converting to Windows 7, I found that my 'Documents' folder had become a Library containing actual files together with symbolic or virtual references to files located elsewhere on my hard drive. The Context Menu item will get you in most places Microsoft doesn't want mere users to go like documents And Settings and will let you move, delete or rename most directories and files that Microsoft doesn't want mere users to be able to affect.
I've used GrantAdminFullControl for a little over three years and Vista isn't affected at all by having to share it's access and control. Vista can, of course, be severly adversly affected by what you do after you have access and control so be absolutely sure you know what you are doing before you do it.
One Warning: It's recursive. It can handle taking full ownership and control of large directories but it takes a long time to work through all those sub-directories and files.
There's supposed to be a non-recursive version out there but the last time I checked a couple of years ago it was only available from one of those "register with us or we won't let you download" sites and I tend to stay away from that sort of website.
There is a "Take Ownership" utility you can add which will make it a context menu item. But, like most people, it's virtually impossible for me to avoid using them in the modern world. I firmly believe they continually make all this stuff so unintuitive and absurdly arcane because THEY DO NOT WANT the average user to have any idea where things are, what does what, how to actually direct the device to the user's needs, etc.
How many people would require a word processor post a copy of "WordPerfect" from the late 's? Well, we can't have that! Gotta keep people shelling out bucks for "NEW! And the OS. The OS! Such rubbish. I have wasted FAR more time wrestling with "permissions", "access", etc. But, if the past is any indication I suspect this all will only get worse.

Hi, i made some progress, the script can be used from Computer Client like Win10, and he dont need to import Active Directory modules, also dont need to enter config. Brandon Lee wrote a new post, Redirect user profile folders documents, pictures, etc. For a long time, roaming profiles and folder redirection were the standard means under Windows for making user files available on different devices.
Now that more and more users work on the road or at home rather than in the office, this technique is becoming increasingly obsolete. An alternative to such environments is to redirect profile folders to OneDrive. Paolo Maffezzoli posted an update 9 hours, 15 minutes ago. Paolo Maffezzoli posted an update 9 hours, 16 minutes ago.

I solved my problem by enabling secure boot on the host. Click Security tab. Click Advanced in the lower right corner. In the Advanced Security Settings window that pops up, click on the Owner tab. Click Edit. Click Other users or groups. Click OK. Apply the settings. Then try accessing the Document folder. I wanted to just say thank you for this article.
Solved my problem and all is well with the world once again. What this means, as Nick pointed out, is that this default special permission setting prevents access no matter what other permissions are granted, but only to this one folder and you still have access to all sub-folders if you link directly to them.
Always use the new path when setting directory paths within programs to prevent potential issues. This dual method of access is to allow older applications a path to access the new folder locations in such a way that to the program it appears as if the files are in the correct location it expects, but without actually having two separate locations to enable this backward compatibility.
Right-click on the shortcut that you want access to. Click on the Security tab. You should now have the proper permissions to open the junction point as if it is a standard shortcut. If the above steps do not give you access you may need to add new allow permissions in order to gain access.
Follow steps from above. In the list that will populate at the bottom of the window you will need to select a different option depending on what your intended outcome is. Choose the most specific group that still allows your intended user s to have the permissions on the folder. You can look up what the various permissions do, but for most people you will want one of two choices.
Overly long explanations I know, but a lot of these details seem to be hard to find in one spot on the net and often are not very clear to less advanced users. Hopefully you found the info useful. Would you know where the auto recovery files are kept for Excel, Word etc?

Leo and others… I have known about the shortcut and hidden juntions but my question is, if I erase them will Vista still work ok?
Any ideas? Sorry for the vitriol towards Microsoft, but when I spend 2 months of my time working out one Vista bug after another with my Bangalore buddies, and loosing hours of work yes I back up I kind of loose interest in even turning the machine at all… Reply. I must add that I am using windows xp home not the program you are talking about but thought you might still be able to help Reply.
