Brand new Vista Ultimate 64 bit user.

I try to open the C: Docs and Settings folder, so I can tweak and edit the
Start Programs layout. I get an "access denied" message.

I'm the sole user on the machine. I was given to understand that this is an
AUC problem. I went to the Security Center, and I thought succeeded in
turning off AUC. But after a restart, I'm still locked out of Docs and
Settings.

As you will ALWAYS be: that is only a shortcut for use by older
programs that aren't Vista-compatible.

If I right click the folder and select Properties | Security |
Administrators, Every Permission except "Special permissions is checked
"allow".

If I go back to the "Turn AUC On/Off" screen, It appears only to offer the
"turn it on" option.

So what's missing? And if I'm the administrator sole user, and can't have
access, then who does have access?

Nobody. Look in C:\Users\your_user_id\Documents.
