Default SSMS--can't access My Documents folder - 11-14-2009 , 04:55 PM






I just upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit from XP 32-bit. I'm using SQL Server
2008 Enterprise. When I try to restore a database in SSMS, and I check "From
device", and click the "....", then click "Add", a directory comes up. In
XP, to get to a folder under 'My Documents', I used to start navigating from
the "Documents and Settings" folder. Now, I click the plus sign next to
"Documents and Settings", and it comes up with nothing underneath it. I've
gone into Windows Explorer and had the Administrator (me, what I'm logged in
under) take possession of the "Documents and Settings" folder with Full
Control, and I can navigate throughout it under Windows Explorer, but I
cannot get to My Documents under SSMS. How do I do this?

In Windows 7 this tree starts at the \Users\ folder, not \Documents and
Settings\.
