Hi Paul,
It's actually *more* than that, as I posted here, after looking it up:
http://www.pcbanter.net/showpost.php?p=3759001&postcount=3

You could try CDing your way there in Command Prompt perhaps.


Paul - do you have any file-access advice for the related investigative
problem posed in the last line of this post?

The files don't have an extension, so you can try dropping
them on IrfanView or whatever.


Most of mine turned out to be PNG files, so copying and renaming them works
just fine.
ren *.* *.png

In Linux, thumbnails appear
for them. That won't happen on Windows unless you manually
a file extensions.


Actually, they show up in Windows thumbnails if you copy & rename them:

After looking this up, I've concluded there is no single resource (except
this thread) that has all the locations, but the one location I haven't
been able to investigate on my system is the one shown above at:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\.

How would you suggest we view that directory as an administrative user?


You could start by using File Explorer, and in the View options
are a bunch of tick boxes. There should be a tick box there
for showing the hidden folders.

You'll know you've succeeded, if you start seeing "desktop.ini" files
all over the place, as those are hidden.

A folder that's pretty hard to get to, is System Volume Information.
You can get there from Linux. Most all the Windows methods I've tried
yield "Access Denied". You can probably figure out a way to
TakeOwn the folder, that's if you have sufficient knowledge of
how to read the permissions and figure it out. I'm not good
at that, so can't help you there. Even knowing there is
"Inheritence" of permissions from the folder(s) above, I still
can't figure out most of the time, why I'm still blocked.

And I run

compact /compactOS:never

on places like C: , before a trip to Linux. Even then,
there are still files outside System32 that are messed
up and report "I/O error" from Linux.
