Log in as the administrator. This is done by re-booting
the computer and holding the f8 key. Start in safemode
and log in as the administrator. Then click right click
on the folder. Click properties. Click on security.
Click on take ownership. I'm not sure if this is the
exact location of the take ownership command. You can
use microsoft help to find it if it is not there.
