As mentioned in my reply to the original posting I get a UAC prompt when
accessing other folders like administrator and then I can browse them with
no problems.
If he's not getting a UAC prompt then it's probably a different set of
permissions that administrator doesn't have access to without taking
ownership.
In general it's a bad idea to go round disabling UAC, rather run a command
prompt, or explorer as administrator when you need to if you want to avoid
the UAC prompt.
Cheers
