Folders Restrictions 1

[Animasu]

Is there anyway to access a folder if you have removed the administrator security off it? every time i click on it now it wont let me do anything but keeps on comeing up with 'Access denyed' this also shows when i try to delete the folder, i know i shouldnt have deleted the security in the first place but it was a accident, anyone have any ideas? i know it may be quite simple to fix but i just cant seem to figure out how!
Hope someone can help

Could you elaborate as to whether this is a network folder or a local one?

And it would help to know your Service Pack level.
