Settings, I wish to delete certain files like i can do in xp.

Thank you

"Q35. Why can't I access directories such "Documents and Settings"
under Vista/Windows 7?

Vista & Windows 7 have moved several common directories and
replaced them with 'junctions' that point to the new location
(such as "Users" in this case). There is really no reason
to access the old locations - they are there primarily for
backward-compatibility with older programs.

Use Alt-F10 option 2-J to hide junctions from the directory
tree entirely, or see ZNOLOG.INI for a method of preventing
them being logged."

HTH,
Paul
