[QUOTE="dcow, post: 980002, member: 139944"] Can you detail which Bootcamp version you are using? I'm assuming 3.0.. Do you have any other HFS+ drivers installed on your system. and what version of windows are you using? I ask because, like the other two, I am just using a standard bootcamp 3.0 install of Windows 7 Ultimate and I have the same problem. I believe apple hides that directory on purpose (basically to force you to boot into OSX to have access to [i]your[/i] files). The driver apple provides lets you view all system owned files but not user owned files (apple will probably tell you it's for security issues). The first solution I can think of would be to recursively ADD permissions for whatever group/user the bootcamp drivers allow windows to see. The second would be to hex edit the driver to make your user owned files visible. By default your user id in OSX should be 1000 (for the first user admin account) You can check in terminal to be sure thouhg. I haven't tried either of these but might do so later. If I'm completely wrong let me know but I figure it's worth a stab-- [/QUOTE]
