I'm not a network jock, but I did come across this post in the Vista Forums by someone having the same issue.
They seem to have some good tutorials listed there.
Inability to expand network folder for computer - Vista Forums
Hope this helps

The one I'm trying to access is my own computer. I tried resetting the windows firewall to default policy and turned network discovery and file sharing back on but that didn't change anything.
I have no other software firewall.
you cannot access your own computer *from* your own computer?
Hmm - interesting - I have mine working perfectly fine. What AV software are you using?
That might be the issue then. Try disabling that and see if it works- also, did you let the troubleshooter complete all tasks?
Yeah I let the troubleshooter go through all the steps and disabled/renabled file sharing.
I tried pinging \\seandesk and net view \\seandesk and both were successful.
I also flushed the DNS cache and restarted the DNS Client service.
None of that seemed to fix it.
Are your public folders on? Also, was this an upgrade or a clean install? I have had some major issues with upgrading in terms of permissions problems with folders on a second HD that is not the system drive yet where I do store system-related stuff, like program files for games installations, my Special folders, etc.
Check your WORKGROUP. Make sure it is the same on all computers. (go to control panel, system)
