ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hello, and welcome to the Windows Forum!What have you tried to open the My Documents folder? And what happens when you try it - nothing, or an error message.Have you tried from Windows Explorer: Documents and Settings\\My Documents ?If that does not lead to your documents; are you sure you are not infected by some kind of malware? Do you have anti-virus, anti-spyware, and a firewall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeah Ano Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Do you have seperate profiles for each user of the machine and if so are they password protected? I ask cuz if you boot off the second drive and then try to access the 'My Documnets' folder for a password protected account on the 1st HDD it comes up with an access denied message as you havent logged on the PC using that users account.
