Log with an account that has administrative privilege.
Open My Computer and right click the partition that contains the files you want to access and select Properties.
Click on the Security tab.
Click the Edit... button.
Click the Add... button.
Enter the local username of the account you want to have access to the partition (use ; for multiple usernames).
Click the Check Name button and confirm the usernames were recognized (underlined).
Click OK.
Find that username in the list and single left click to highlight it.
Click the check box for Full Access under the Allow column.
Click OK then click OK again.
You now have full access to that partition under Windows Vista.
God Bless, Wayne
