If these are system folders, I have found that ever since the beta. Some of them in my case seemed to be old XP folders that are no longer used.

Documents and Settings is not a real folder. It is there for compatibility
and just points to Users.

Access to these "folders" (which are links to new locations) is denied for
the group "everyone". If you remove this group from security settings you'll
able to use them again. (But I don't know if this is a recommended
workaround).

Hello,

This is not a recommended workaround, as this may cause application
compatability issues.

The workaround is to learn where these junctions are pointing to and use the
new locations. The "old" locations no longer exist.

To see where a junction is pointing to, browse to the folder that contains
it in the command prompt and issue the 'dir /al' command.

I too am having this problem with a lot of directories with little shortcut
arrows on them that will not let me in even though I have admin privileges.
For example, I want to get into my directory using local settings and
transfer my archive file to a back up dvd. But I cannot get in to the
subdir. Under the list of users is my name as administrator and again as
administrators. Everyone is listed as well.

I liked this dir in XP and used it a lot.
Any help?

Is the folder you are trying to get into a junction point? If so you don't
need to get in there. All that does is link to another folder where the
data is kept. You need to find out where that folder is. From an elevated
command prompt, navigate to the folder that contains the folder you think
you need access to and give the command:
dir /al /s

All the folders that are junction points will be labeled junction, and on
the same line it will list the folder it points to. That's the folder you
want to access.
