windows.old\users "access is denied"

Following the guide here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933168 to get the original Vista environment back after installing from an unattended SP1 slipstreamed Vista bulldozed everything into windows.old

It all works except it will not let me move the users folder back so I can have my old Start Menu and other things back how they were.

Is there a way to make an unattended install that will UPDATE original Vista to Vista SP1 instead of doing a clean install and moving everything into windows.old?

Heck with it. Nuke and pave with vLite'd SP1 Vista!

WTH doesn't Vista put an entry into add/remove programs to uninstall and go back to the previous Windows, y'know like XP and 9x do? (Looks like an opportunity for someone to write a bit of software to correctly restore everything from Windows.old!)
