File permissions problem

[Casual observer]

By mistake, I deleted a user on the system - I logged on as Administrator in
safe mode and I can see the deleted user's files and view them (they're
jpg's mainly) - but when I'm logged on as another user, I can see the files
in Explorer, but I can't view the pictures - Picture Manager has a red X in
the middle of the viewing frame.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Take ownership of the files.
