Try typing "attrib -R * /s /d" at a command prompt
That removes the read-only flag from all files, folders subfolders and files in subfolders
so you might want have the command prompt in on the section of the file structure
you need access to rather than the root
XP uses that flag for special system folders, vista may as well
