I have been denied access to folders on my personal computer that I have to look at - Documents and Settings for example. How can I remove all of these restrictions without reading everything in the Microsoft Management Console documentation?
 
If you are running Windows 7 (I'm going to assume that because this was posted in the Windows 7 section), Documents and Settings (plus a few others, especially in the User profile folders) doesn't exist. It's a special shell object for legacy application installers to use which redirect the installer to place extracted files in the proper locations. You cannot access these objects as the physical user, as there is nothing to access.
