You need to take ownership of the files and folders. Please refer to
the online help and the MSKB to learn how to take ownership.

You need to take ownership of the files:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308421 - HOW TO: Take Ownership of a
File or Folder in Windows XP [Q308421]

Or look up "take ownership" in XP's Help & Support.
