Re: ultimate: can't access "app data" folder on admin acct...
Hi maya,
C:\Users\<user>\Application Data was and is a junction point, and appears as
a shortcut because that's all it is. You cannot access these junction points
as there is nothing actually in them. The correct folder you are thinking of
is C:\Users\<user>\appdata.
Normal.dot would be under:
C:\Users\<users>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
