I am running Windows XP Pro and I am the only user of the computer and there
is only one account - mine - and I have administrator permissions. BUT I am
denied access to some of the subdirectories on my computer. What gives?

My account has administrator permissions. How do I change the permissions
on the subdirectories to which I am denied access?
