I've had the same problem, trying to access my outlook folder to be able to copy out mu outloook.pst file. Couldn't get access by clicking on the folders, but managed to work out (using XP path) what the path to the file was, and het presto! got access and could copy the files.

Doesn't make sense.

Vista seriously has soe problems.
I'm now back on XP
