    Log on as the administrator and change permissions for yourself so that you can make
    appropriate changes. If you can not change permissions as administrator, then you
    need to take ownership of the folder/files. You will have to delete the users listed
    and then readd them after creating their user accounts. The user names may be the
    same, but to the computer they are different since the computer assigns a unique sid
    to each user even if user accounts are created with same names. If the data was
    encrypted with EFS, then you may not be able to access the files without the
    associated EFS private key. ---Steve
