If you go to the folder, you're going to have two accounts you may have to 
be concerned with and their permissions:

1) Administrator/machine-name/Administrator
2) spud/machine-name/spud

Are the two accounts in conflict with each other with their permissions? If 
you're logged in as *spud* even though you are admin on the machine and spud 
doesn't have the same permissions as the Admin account on the folder, then 
there is going to be conflict.

RE: access to docs and settings   
I f you are trying to access Documents and Settings in Vista, it is not a 
real folder.
It is a Junction that is used to redirect legacy programs to Vista's new 
structure.
Documents, Music, etc.

Allow sharing on the folders you cannot see.
