    Knowing your OS would also be greatly appreciated ;)


    but joking aside I'm guessing you are on XP so the system restore folder is a hidden one so you will have to open up your C drive and click tools > Folder Options > View and untick "hide protected opperating system files" then the folder you are looking for is System Volume Information and inside that is the restore locations.


    You will need to add your user name as admin to the security settings for access as its a protected folder... you just right click folder > properties > Security > Add > Advanced > Find now .... find your admin user name highlight it and click OK > OK and you should then have access
