File Sharing - Make Folder Private

[Guest]

A user on my machine has checked the "Make Folder Private" box for their My
Documents

I need to be able to remove this so i can access the files. I have
administrator access and it still wont allow me into the file system.

Any Ideas.

P.S. some corruption has happened when the user logs is they cannot even see
the files.......

Assuming you have Windows XP Pro.
Open Explorer, Go to Tools>Folder Options: View tab and make sure Use simple
file sharing is disabled.

Go to the folder that you want to look into. Right click on the folder and
click Properties: Security tab: Advanced: Owner Tab: Click on the user that
needs to have access, check the box: Replace owner on subcontainers and
objects, Click OK. Ok out of all windows.
Now you are owner of those objects.
