Hello,
If you have disabled the hiding of operating system files, you will see what appear to be system folders with familiar names like "Documents and Settings" and "My Music". They are shown with a transparent icon and a shortcut arrow.
These are not really folders and contain no data. They are only there to assist some old programs. Windows Vista has moved or renamed many familiar locations.
If there is a specific location you are looking for, we can help you find it.

I am pulling my hair out with this OS. I just got a new Dell laptop with Vista Home Premium.
Since Dell doesn't provide drivers for win xp for it I am stuck with this OS.
I am trying to organize it and set things up like I want but there are lots of folders in Windows Explorer that keep denying me access, even though I am the administrator.
How the hell do I gain access to all the folders on my computer?
This situation is completely unacceptable.
I have already tried all the usual things that one could do in XP to allow access to system or hidden folders and files, but these denied folders aren't even important in many cases.
Thanks a lot for any advice.
