Supposedly I am the Admin on my own computer. Yet I cannot access the
Documents and Settings folder. What's the secret for permanent
permission access here?
Thanks!

There's nothing you want or need there--it's not a folder. It's a junction
that merely directs older or hard coded legacy applications to the new REAL
folder(s).
Your stuff is now under ./Users/<user name>.
Vista has hidden junctions, which have the same names as folder names in XP.
In Windows Explorer, these junctions are shown as hidden shortcuts, with
File Folder properties, used, in part, to redirect XP program installations
that rely on the old XP folder names and XP locations. They could be
referred to as "redirectories".
(If you try to "open" them, you'll get an access denied pop-up).
