That's a feature of the NTFS file system a user can make his profile folder
private and the administrator will not be able to access his files. To
achieve your purpose, you'd have to use the FAT32 file system but that would
require a reinstallation. You can convert the file system from FAT32 to
NTFS but not viceversa.
