Vista is bullshit - Anyone know how to get permission to files?

I'm trying to sort out my music collection but theres a couple of folders that vista will not let me move!
Its rediculous, I hate vista. It says "You do not have permission" but I am the Administrator! If admin doesn't have permission to move his own files then who the fuck does! LOL 
I honestly hope vista is the downfall of Microsoft, I'm in the process of learning Linux so that I can convert to a better OS.
Anyone know how I can move/delete these troublesome folders?

I don't know about vista, but in general, this happens when the "administrator" id that owns the file is different than the "administrator" id that is currently logged in. Go to the folder/file you cannot access, and right click - properties. Now select the security tab, and click the advanced button. Click on the Owner tab, and take ownership of the file/folder. If a folder, click the "replace on sub-whatevers" as well. You may also have to change the permissions tab after you take ownership. Have fun.

Activate real admin account
The uac is probably preventing you from doing this. When you step your vista machine you are not the highest level of adminstrator. By default it is locked. Follow the steps to unlock the account, this should solve your problem.
