Vista Documents and Settings: Access Denied

I came across something interesting today. Funny how long I've had a Vista workstation, and how little I've dug around in it. I don't do nearly as much working on computers as I did playing on computers. But back to the topic.

Trying to access your Documents and Settings folder in Vista from an explorer window? Then your probably received this error: Location is not available. C:\Documents and Settings is not accessible. Access is denied. [OK]

Well, that's only because it's not a shortcut or folder you're seeing, it's a junction.

I always knew Vista stored user data differently than XP, just didn't know the intricate details... Thanks for the link, bookmarked! I'm sure it will come in handy sooner rather than later.
