After A System Recovery

[Guest]

Hey Guys,
I recently did a system recovery as my comp was...well...virus ridden due to
my lack of checking and what not...
I have rebooted my system and gone to access my files that were saved on C
Drive to find that the folder is locked and i cant get into them at all
I have tried running my comp in safe mode and logging on as administrator
but its not helping. Im really upset because i have 2 years worth of stuff or
there abouts on there i would really like to access...any help would be
EXTREMELY appreciated
