Explorer and Backup

I have two accounts; the first is a limited account for everyday use and the other is an Admin account for downloading and performing any task that needs that privilege. Using MS Backup, I can see all the folders/files in the limited account while using the Admin acct. However, although I am still in the Admin acct, I cannot see the limited acct folders/files and vice versa (using explorer.exe). I remember when initially setting up the accts, I asked that the files be private; now I have no idea how to access that setting. Yes I could share the folders I want, but now I'm using an external drive with its own backup program and that acts exactly as Explorer.exe acts - we're talking a lot of sharing and customizing. I also have a problem with that drive that their tech support is saying is OS-related, so I'm hoping to fix the inability to access the account before I return to them.
