Why can't I access my own "My <xyz>" folders???

Posted: 12-05-2007, 12:38 PM
Preamble: I am long time (and I daresay: somewhat experienced) XP user.
I just switched to Vista (got it with a new Laptop) and there are a few
things that I simply don't get, yet:

In my own "Documents" directory there are a couple of good old friends,
namely directories like "My Music", "My Pictures", "My Videos"...
Under vista these are now links (where do these point to???) and - and
this is the point I dont get at all - when I double-click on these I get
an "C:\Users\mmo\Documents\My Music is not accessible"-error. ???
%&@!?@!#!
Why, for god's sake, should "My Music" not be accessible TO ME (.i.e.
the owner of this user-ID and system)??

What's the idea behind this? And where/how will I get access to my music
files (and others)?

Michael
