As administrator, I cannot access any files except those I have made. How do I change this? The files were originally downloaded into another Administrator's file and can be read from there.
 
If you are in the Administrators group you can take ownership of the file
and then set whatever permissions you choose.

To do this:
1. go to file Properties-> Security->Advanced -> Owner
