Hi tweaker,

The tool doesn't seem to be able to reset the junctions. You will probably need to do it maualy.

AppData is not a profile name unless of course you really did create a user named AppData.

Depending on what is showin in the properties box there may not be too much to change.

Please right click on C:\Documents and Settings. Click properties. Clcik the security tab.What is shown in the group or user names box at the top?

Next click the Advanced button. You can post a screenshot of this one or even the other one also.

Hi tweaker,

Are you able to change the owner to either yourself or the administrators?

Hi tweaker,

There is something very wrong here. Though those settings are not quite default (junctiobox get it very close), they should work.

The [..] you see in the logs mean the tartget is not accessable or the junction is in a loop.

Can you open C:\Users ?

i can open c:\users, but theres directories there of users that i have never made... my user directory (kris) is accessabile, while "hedev" and appdata are not. rather some of their subdirectories are not, others are.

Hi tweaker,

Screenshot #1

Except for the appData and the hedev (unless that is an account you created) this looks normal.

Screenshot #2

Except for the name AppData,  looks more or less a valid account. It shouldn't be there though.

Screenshot #3

Access denied is normal for Application Data no matter where it's located. It's a junction.

Screenshot #4

Other than it being in the strange appData account hat is a valid path to a program in the Start Menu.

Let's see if it shows up as an account.

Click Start > Control Panel
  • Under User Accounts and Family safety click Add or remove user accounts
What is listed for accounts?
