It is possible to (using Explorer) to right-click the folder, Properties,
Security. Then add yourself (or maybe the Administrators group) with Read
permission (or Full Control if you like). (I'm talking about XP Pro where
folder permissions are available.)

I'm not recommending the permissions change. But it is possible.

Be careful! And do NOT delete anything unless you see reliable
documentation suggesting that would be a good idea. "Reliable" =
An article on Microsoft web site.
