Next: Vista user folder - Access denied when trying to access as externa

I need to remove a virus from a Vista computer that is in
C:\Users\Username\Local Settings\Temp. The AV on the computer stinks and
the virus hides itself from Vista (rootkit). If it were an XP drive I would
just remove it and attach it as a secondary drive on a good computer and
scan it with my AV and manually remove any problems, but I cannot get into
the Users Local Settings subfolders even as the Admin on the XP computer.

When I go to D:\Users\~Username~\Local Settings I get "Access Denied". When
I try to look at the security for the folder to temporarily add myself, the
security tab is missing. Even though my AV protection runs as the System
account, that can't even get into those folders.

I don't want to mess up the entire security of the drive or user profile, so
what would be the way to get access to these folders from my XP machine?
