Permissions problem - Applicaiton Data

I am running Windows 7 home.  

I have a directory that I am not being allowed to see that I think I should be allowed to see.  It is in a directory called Users\Woody\Application Data.  (Woody is my user name).

When I click on it I get an error message of Access Denied.  I thought it might just be a problem of not having permissions set.  In the security tab I set permissions for everyone to full but I am still not able to access the folder.

It may be of importance to note that the icon associated with folder does not look normal. I has a little arrow on it curved and pointing to 2:00 oclock.

One of my programs is telling me to look in this folder for a certain file, but at present I am unable to do so.  Anyone know why?

Try setting the permissions of all the group or users names to full on the Users folder, and make sure you put a check in the “Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent” box. You may need to do this to your User folder also.
