using a search I found a "Documents" folder under USERS, but there is no Documents folder under any Windows profile in the USERS folder. Windows 7 won't let me change the folder options on that folder. Thanx Microsoft. I don't understand how Powershell can show me where the profile is but I can't see the folders. How can I open it with notepad? This has turned into a Windows 7/hatin' Microsoft issue for me.
