Access Denied Error - even when logged on as an Administrator

I am having an access denied error when I try to access a folder on my member server.  I have taken ownership as an administrator, yet I receive the same error message "Access Denied".  As an administrator I have full controll on this particular folder.  My users have Modify permission, they cannot get in either.

Please help!!
Thanks

when I checked the shared permission, i receive the following error message:
"This has been shared for administrative purposes.  The permissions cannot be set."  So I can't go in to check the shared permission.  Your help is appreciated.

Thanks

remove the current share and reshare it again with right share permissions

The error "This has been shared for administrative purposes.  The permissions cannot be set." means that you are not viewing a share which you created but one created automatically by the system. The end with $ (e.g. C$). You first have to select your share in the drop down before viewing the share permissions.
