Access Denied to Vista drive

Dual-boot system (Vista Home and XP Pro on two hard drives). Vista can
read/write all files on XP drive, but XP gets "Access is Denied" when trying
to open Documents and Settings on Vista drive.
support.microsoft.com/kb/810881 did not help because in XP, there is no
Security tab visible on the Vista folder Properties page. How can I gain
access to these files?

Thanks,

Geoff

"Documents and Settings" on Vista is NOT a folder, it's a junction point.
That's why you can't open it.
On Vista the folder is in C:\Users\{account name}\Documents.
