Vista - Desktop Folders

I've seen a couple similar posts but no answers that seem to solve my
problem. I am on the administrative account, and when I create a folder on
my desktop to try to organize my icons, it won't let me copy any files into
those folders. When I drag and drop it says I need to provide administrative
permissions, so I click continue to provide the credentials. But then it
pops up an Access Denied window saying I'm not allowed to access the
destination folder. I've pored through every management console I can find,
but I'm not sure how to fix the issue, any help?
