UAC often causes folders large and small to deny access. While it is
touted by the cerebral types with marketing and business insight as a major
enterprise marketing tool, I respectfully believe that the UAC team could
have prevented what I call Vista's arbitrary and capricious random lockouts
and should fix them, but they have no plans to do so in Vista--maybe in the
next OS hopefully, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. You need to
take ownership of explorer. Why is a great question.

Type explorer in the search box above start button>right click
explorer>click properties>security tab.

Good luck,
