Help using system volume information folder

Only an administrator (if any) should be able to access this folder.
This is strictly for the O/S and you should never have to do anything within it...

It is a *system* folder that has no access rights to any account by default, even the administrator.

It contains your system restore data. You're better off not having access to it unless you have a specific need for it.

Anyway, to access it, you need to take ownership. The easiest way is going to be to add the 'Take Ownership' feature to your right-click menu, right click on the folder and use it.

I'm just curious. Why do you want to access the folder? What do you want to do?

The problem is, (as in most cases) if the poster has to ask "what it is/how to access it," they really have no business messing with it.

Yes, that had something to do with why I asked!

Well then, I guess that settles it... I hope "sunnyprince" is convinced...
Let's face it, I have tried messing with one on my flash drive (no big deal because if I need to, I can format it). There are only folders with a combination letters & numbers in it and I don't have any programs that can read the files anyway.
