329414 2005-03-01 23:12:00 If you are running XP home restart in Safe Mode.
If you are running XP Pro open Windows Explorer and go to Tools - Folder Options - View tab and scroll down and untick Use Simple Filesharing.

Go to the folder you can't access and right-click and select Properties - Security tab - Advanced button. Then select your username and tick the box at the bottom 'Replace owner on sub....' and click OK.
It should then do a few things on screen and when that's finished you should be able to access the folder.

Sorry! Forgot to say that you need to go to the Owner tab after you click on the advanced button.
