Administrator denied access to folder

I am the administrator on my PC and do not have access to
the following directory C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents. I am attempting to install Adobe
Acrobat 6.0 and it stops halfway through saying that I
have not been granted access to that folder (which for
some reason Adobe installs files to that folder). I have
the highest level of access on the PC and the folder is
not a shared folder. Any ideas?

This option is not available. It explains how to do it
under Help, however the reference is completely wrong, as
if it is referring to a completely different operating
system (I am on XP Pro).

Huh? What "Help" are you looking at, if not the help on XP Pro?

Right click the All Users level. Take Properties - Security page.
Highlight the Administrators group, check Allow - Full Control and click
Apply

This will propagate to all levels below, too
