Here is something from Windows help to check out:
===============
To take ownership of a file or folder
Open Windows Explorer, and then locate the file or folder you want to take
ownership of. 
Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the
Security tab. 
Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab. 
In the Change owner to box, click the new owner. 
(Optional) To change the owner of all subcontainers and objects within the
tree, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box.
================

Hope this might help.

I have a 160GB HDD that will not boot but all the files are good so I hav= e
installed a "rescue" 40GB hard drive to save the files off the NFG driv= e
(I made the 160Gb a slave of the 40GB). I have saved just about everyth= ing
I need but am unable to access "My Documents" on the 160GB as I have = a
password for my Windows user account (I am the adminstrator for the PC)= . I
keep getting an "access denied" message.
Any ideas on how to get access to these files?
BTW, I am running XP pro.
