viewing documents settings

This may have been asked before, but when I attempt to access Documents & Settings, I get Access Denied. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

Have you tried taking ownership of the folder? http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308421 -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

The first time I tried that it wouldn't take. I had to keep clicking on the security tab, selecting my name and hitting ok. I did that over 5 times until it finally took hold and now I have access to all my folders. Paula

Look in /Users. That's where the files really are.

Dear Andre,
Thanks for your help.
However, why is the default set to SYSTEM than Administrators?
In Windows XP, it is Administrators by default.
Thanks.
