Denied Permission to windows.old files! PLEASE HELP!

When I try to access my documents in windows.old (to copy to Vista my
documents) I get the message:
"You have been denied premission to access this folder"
so I click the security tab and get
"The requested information is either unavaiable or cannot be displayed"
I am using the administrator account!

RE: Denied Permission to windows.old files! PLEASE HELP!

By default Vista sets security on certain folder to deny access to the
"everyone" group. Go into the advanced security settings for the folder you
want to access and remove the "deny" settings for the "everyone" group and
you should get access to the directory. If that doesn't work you can always
take possesion of the directory by changing its owner. Hope this helps.
