Recently I restored some files from a backup. Most of the files were
restored
perfectly, however there are some of them which are giving me a hard time.
Whenever I attempt to enter the directory for these files I receive the
message

"My Documents\xxx\ is not accesible
Access is denied".

I cannot do any operation on the files: I can't read, modify nor delete.
Could anybody help me with it?

Kind regards,
JC
You need to take ownership of the miscreant files.
Go to Folder Options
Click View
Go down to the box labeled Simple File Sharing. Remove the check.

Now go to the folder which contains the files.
Access the Security Tab, and enable whatever is missing from your
permissions.

When done. go back to Folder Options and enable Simple File Sharing.
