Problem accessing old documents on new PC

[itchyrain]

Hi guys,

I've finally got my new system up and running woo hoo!

I've put my old hard drive in an external enclosure rather than back everything up to DVD, and i've had some trouble accessing the folder for my old user name under the 'Documents and Settings' folder. Every time i try to get access it tells me that access is denied. I've got administrator rights on the new system, so i thought i should have access.

Any way to bypass the locked folder?
