I was confused also. This is because Vista introduced 'junctions'
which serve only to redirect older software to the new location for
this data which is really located in a different folder. This fixes
a security flaw which should have been fixed years ago -- but now it's
fixed at last.

Meanwhile, I don't know why Explorer shows you a 'junction' that you
can't access -- it makes no sense. The folder you really want is now
called 'App Data' in Explorer. Try it.
