c:\Documents and Settings\Username is not accessible

My harddisk died and I plug it into another pc to access it.

All files can be copied except the files which originally put in the
c:\Documents and Settings\Username

This happened before, and I remembered there is a way to change the users
rights of the folder to retrieve the data back, but I cannot find how to do
it now.

Does anyone can help me how to do it?

Many Thanks!
