That I have tried to do this using cacls
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;309531) but it

incorrect.

You don't have permission to change the permissions. You need to take
ownership of the folder (which is the admins special powers), then give
yourself permission to access it.

But did you try turning SR off, reboot, turn on, reboot. Even if you do
above you need to reboot anyway.
