Default Getting past Vista permissions

I need to access my Application Data folder, which is hidden by default. After I enabled show hidden and system files, I still can't open it because it doesn't give me permission... I need to backup a nfsu2 savegame because I need to reformat. The folder permissions are set to allow me to access it, but stupid vista won't let me anyways.

Please tell me how to access the folder and its contents, because I need to reformat.

EDIT: nevermind, turns out the savegame was in a different hidden folder that I had access to.

But still, why vista won't let you access your own files is beyond me..
