You need to set permissions on the files. Click start/Help & Support, enter
"permissions" into the search box and hit enter. There are all sorts of
tutorials on how to do this.

In addition, I would strongly suggest that you backup anything you do not
want to lose to removable media (floppy, CD, USB drive, etc.).
