Hello Tony, and welcome to Seven Forums.
As you found out, system restore does not include user profile folders.
By default, you are already the owner of your own "C:/Users/Tony" profile folder and it's contents.
Are you sure the files are read-only?
Read-only File and Folder Attribute
What do you see for it's permission settings?
Permissions - Allow or Deny Users and Groups
Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums
As a test for now, use step 6 in the tutorial on the first page to remove "Take Ownership" to see if that may help if you used the .exe option.
