Vista folder permission

Glad you found a solution to your problem boyboy400. Something similar happend to a system I was working on and I was able to access the files from the builtin Administrator Account. To enable this account, go to a CMD Shell and type:

net user administrator /active:yes

Now you can log out and you'll have Administrator on the account page. Click it to log in, there is no password by default. Then you can see if you have access to the original files, Take Ownership, etc. To disable the account again type:

net user administrator /active:no

from your own account in a shell. Just thought I would share, most people don't know about this. Have Phun!!!

Wazz, boyboy mentioned that he tried to access the file from the admin account but had no luck. As it turns out, the issue was not with folder permissions but some wonky issue with encryption or corruption.
