No, the article did not help.

It assumes that you are logged on as an admin.

As a limited user I can view the System Volume Information
folder, but
not any other folders underneath it.

I want to be able to view the _restore folders as a LIMITED
USER.

I tried sharing the folder, but it doesn't help.

I can see every other hidden folder, why not this one?

Even if you could SEE it, there is NO useable information there
for you to tinker with. Why are you so snoopy? Microsoft says
NO, accept that or go get an Apple and quit this banter.

Yes ... but a professional what?

Actually, if you follow the instructions in KB 309531 (at least those
for "Windows XP Professional using the NTFS File System on a Workgroup
or Standalone Computer") a limited user *can* view the subfolders of the
_restorexxx folder.

Perhaps if you were to explain *why* you want to view those subfolders
(whether as a limited user or as a computer administrator) you might be
able to get some useful information.

I followed KB 309531 and was not able to view the sub directories.

I want to view them so I can see how many system restore points are there.

I use a limited account to be safe.
I want to limit how many times that I have to log on as an Admin.

I have no evil intent.

Check my posts in the newsgroups if you doubt it.

Andy
