Can somebody please help? I'm unable to access or delete the Documents
Folder under All Users. When I go to open the folder it gives me an access
denied, even thou I am logged in as the administrator and the folder is not
locked. The properties for this folder show it as being empty. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hmm... Try taking ownership?
