Thats where XP keeps all its System Restore information. I assume you are using NTFS, if that is the case, you will need to give yourself permission to access the folder. Are you using XP Pro or XP Home?

There is no default "Administrator" access to this folder, only "SYSTEM" has limited access, you will need to add "Administrator" to th ACL for this folder with at least read permissions.

Or the "Administrators" security group.

You can do this by right clicking on the folder and clicking the security tab, then click add, scroll through and find "Administrators", then click "OK" and your done.
