That was a Windows XP folder no longer present under Vista, instead relying on simpler C:\Users. Likewise for My Documents, My Videos, etc where "My" was dropped off, as well as "Application Data," which was renamed to "AppData." Some files/folders are blocked by UAC, which can be extremely irritating, because they are currently in use, or because they contain protected system files, depending on the individual file/folder. In the case of the ones you listed, though, it sounds like they are legacy XP folders. Did you upgrade from XP to Vista, or are you browsing another partition where XP is installed?

On the Vista desktop is a folder with my name on it which I assume is my profile's personal folder settings and such. When I open this folder in Explorer, I can see folders like My Documents, My Videos, etc., as well as Application Data folders, etc. My question is, when I try to open some of these folders Vista shouts rudely at me "Access Denied". Why am I denied access to my own profile files and folders when I am the Administrator of the machine? I am even denied access to the Documents and Settings folder. What's up with that?
