It seems W7 does not give you control over you own files. I took control of one folder only to be denied seeing another. What's up with this? I don't want to have to seek out a way to open subfolders and files. My normal.dot got corrupted and I can't get into the folder to restore the backup of my choice. If I'm going to work on and buy and OS I expect to have full control without having to ask for permission! An yes I've been usings PC's since PC DOS!

HiIt would be helpful if you gave us the exact name and location of these folders. Many changes to the security components were made in Vista and carried over to Windows 7.Let us know.Thank You for testing Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP
