That's because none of the accounts you are using have the proper
permissions for the folder and/or files within the folder.
Even if you're logged into Vista with an Admin account, the Admin account is
really only a Standard user account with Standard user privileges in a lot
of cases. That's why you get the permissions to continue if you are Admin or
a Standard user, with UAC enabled.
As a user when you start having problems with permissions for folder or file
in a folder, you have to look at what rights your account has as a user on
the folder or a file within the folder.
Read the information in the link.

Look at the Administrators account rights which is below, when you have read
the information in the link above, and you're looking at the screens in
Vista You'll see it has Full rights. Well, it better have Full rights.
* Administrators (cumputername\administrators)
However, you need a second account added to the folder or file within the
folder. That account will be your account ID that you are logged in with on
the computer.
You need your user-id account on the folder because of another account you
will see.
* User (computername\users) which doesn't have the same rights as the Admin
account. Yes, you are a User as Vista looks at all accounts.
So make it see your logged-in user account with its permissions too.
The link below has some pictures that are kind of in the ballpark of the
Vista screens in this area.
What you going to do to add your logged-in user id on the file or folder by
doing the follow:
1) use the Edit button
2) use the Add button
3) enter in your logged-in user-id
4) use the CheckName button
5) If user-id line is underscored, the user ID is OK.
6) set the new user-id accounts permissions to match Administrators'
permissions of (Full Control)

Now you can do that on the folder which sets it for all files in the folder
or on the file itself in the folder.
Or you can user Explore and right click the <C> drive select
Properties/Security Tab add the account which will do it for all folders and
files in the folders. If it stops keep hitting the Continue button.
