    Access denied



    Using Windows7 professional 64bit
    I am unable to access any files within Documents and Settings.
    Notification: "Access denied"
    I have identified a lock attached D&S using Windows explorer.
    I have not knowingly made any changes.
    Could someone please advise me how I should proceed to unlock this area?
