Lan Drive / Lan Server

Hi, I have problem in accessing my lan drive (lan server) since installed
Vista Home Premium. I can access the root directory of the lan drive and
also one level down. I can't access any directories under the first level.
For example, I have a directory MY NAME in the root directory and MY DATA
under MY NAME.... I can access MY NAME and cannot go further into MY DATA.
But I don't have the problem when I use my old laptop with Windows 98.
Anybody knows how to fix the problem?

go to USERS folder then the MyName folder
On Vista, it may look like a folder, but may actually be a 'junction' that
is nothing more than a virtual road sign to tell programs where the data is
at or is supposed to go.
But in their infinite wisdom, MS made it look like a folder.

Thanks Not Me. Unfortunately whenever I tried to click it said Windows
Explorer not responding and I have to close it and reopen again and it
happens again.
