If the folders were encrypted with EFS and you reformatted to install you
may be out of luck. Hopefully that is not the case and you simply need to
logon as the administrator and take ownership of the folder being sure to
check change on all subfolders and objects. By taking ownership you can then
give yourself necessary permissions to access those folders/files possibly
needing to add yourself to the permissions list with full control. File
security properties are found by right clicking a folder and selecting
security while you additionaly select avanced and then ownership to take
ownership. See the link below for more details and it also applies to
