I have a Windows 2003 server that I am working on. I am logged in as
administrator and have run across a folder that when I try to access
it, I get the standard 'access is denied' error message.

When I have run into this problem before, I was always able to go take
ownership of the folder/file and then change the security. However,
with this folder, I don't have a security tab available to me. When I
select properties for the folder, the only tabs are general and
customize.

How do I get access to this folder?

Thanks
