Yep, if you right click the folder and select security, you will (should)
get an alert saying that you (paraphrased) "don't have permission to change
security settings but that you can take ownership of the directory". From
there click on advanced, then owner and set yourself as the owner. You may
have to go back and also give yourself permission (full priveledge) as well.
