I'm currently doing this via C:Documents and SettingsusernameLocal SettingsTemporary Internet Files in my favourites - but if I just enter that in manually it comes up with Cookies / IE information that I'm not requiring.

Account No 1 No problems Account No 2 IE freezes whenever I try to connect to the internet. Account No 3 I set up this new account to see if a new account would have the same problem connecting to the internet as Account No 2. It does. On checking both Accounts I found that the Documents & Settings folder is missing. In Account No 1 it is present. Would this missing folder have anything to do with being unable to connect to the internet and if so,

Jun 18, 2005My computer died so I took the harddrive out and put it in my other computer as a second drive (not the drive to boot from). Now everything under the F:Documents & SettingsLen" directory cannot be accessed. If I look at the "Len" directory and all of it's subdirectories on the second drive "Make this folder private" is not check so I don't understand why I can't read it. In fact the "Make this folder private" is not checked. If it helps any the drive is an NTFS drive.

View 5 Replies View RelatedXP: Folder "Documents And Settings": How To Move
Aug 24, 2008The partition C, where Windows XP is installed, became too small. Often XP crashes with the blue screen (BSOD). I already, successfully, moved the system folder "My Documents" to another hard drive, to give space, and changed the registry accordingly.
That was two years ago. Meanwhile, my space is again too small, somehow everything seems to grow on that partition. I need to give space again. I tried to copy the system folder "Documents and Settings" to another partition before making any registry change. But i cannot copy, XP reports an error saying that "NTUSER cannot be copied. The file is being used by another person or program". I also don't find any variable inside the registry pointing to that system folder.
"Documents And Settings" Folder Not There
Aug 31, 2007I had just reverted my computer from Windows Vista to Windows I didn't have to use a boot disk (though I obtained one) and Windows XP Home SP2 started up normally. What I did notice was that the Documents and Settings folder was (and is) completely empty, and I can't access it. So, I can't access "All Programs", My Documents (from the Documents and Settings folder), and the wallpaper is blank. I have the Documents and Settings folder in Windows.old, but apparently that didn't transfer successfully back to the C: drive. Is there any way possible that I could redirect the Documents and Settings folder to the one in the Windows.old folder? What about forcing the computer to replace it

Apr 1, 2006I found images in Windows Picture and Fax viewer that I want to delete. I can delete them one-by-one, but that takes time. I went to Disk Cleanup up and deleted all Temp and Temp internet files, but the images are still there. I checked Properties of the images for the file names, went to Win Explorer, but only found C:Documents and Settingsuser, there was no subfolder for Local Settings and, obviously nothing after that. I did a Search in Explorer, including hidden files and folders, for the file names and the searches resulted in nothing. I am back to deleting one-by-one, but my concern is, Where did everything from Local Settings on go to. BTW, I also run Skybot, Adaware and Norton virus weekly
