boot into safe mode, then log in as administrator and try accessing the files again.

Right click on those folder as administrator, then open the security section and take ownership of those folders and files. Once you are the owner you should be able to assign them to the user account with all the rights necessary.

ps: in my previous account b4 formating my c:/     i had this folder as a private folder.
