Documents and Settings can't get to

Thread needs solution

Using Acronis TI 2013 with a full backup. Usually I have no problems restoring one file or restoring the complete image. However tonight I wanted a single file from my videos on the latest full backup image.

When I use file manager and open up the full backup I am able to see "Documents and Settings", but it is not the same color, it's a little faded, and I can open it.

Now I have administration permissions, I can go to C: and drill down through Documents and Settings just fine, no permission problems. Also, I am on same computer I backed up on, same user that backed up and as already said I have administrator permission. Noticed directory Recovery, Recycle, Program Data, MSOcache all have that faded look like the Documents and Settings.

I can get by without restoring this file, if I really needed it I would just restore the whole image. But in the future I may really want to get a single file from Documents and Settings.

I should add when going directly to C: (not the image), I see the Documents and Setting faded in color, but I can click on it with no problems and drill down to whatever file I want.  I assume that faded color has something to do with permissions.  Yet I have permissions unless I am using the ATI backup which I created.

Can anyone help me?

Need different paths.
Users/username/my documents\
or
USER\USERNAME\MY PICTURES
or
USER\USERNAME\MY Videos
etc.

Thanks, I see that now in the TI backup directory. I didn't go down and look for a user directory. The reason I didn't is because I believed all the users and their data such My Pictures My Documents are really under, Example===> c:\Documents and Settings\jer\videos But then I opened up a cmd window and it seems there is also a path c:\users\jer\videos That was kind of fun doing dos commands. My guess would be that Documents and Settings just points to c:\users  I did a Dir command under each c:\users and under c:\documents and settings- both had the same 5 directories.

Again Thanks Grover, sometimes my brain just stops working.
