documents settings permission

After finally managing to enable the Administrator account, I still apparently don't have permission to access the Documents and Settings folder. Neither can I access the Application Data in my User folder.
So far, Vista is being extremely resrictive... I don't suppose there is a 'Let me in' tick box anywhere? Alternatively, how can I actually gain access to these folders? Vista advises me to use the Security tab, but one cannot 'Apply' any changes you make.
