    There are two types of 'access denied' conditions

    1. NTFS permissions. These are easily solved. You need to log on as a member
    of administrators group and then take ownership of folder and/or files. As
    the owner, you can again grant yourself adequate permissions on the content,

    2. EFS (encrypted file system) permissions, encrypted files and folders. If
    you lost certificate that contained a private key, then the content is lost
    (cannot be decrypted). The key with certificate is by default stored in the
    user profile, so if you reformated a C: drive, then your profile is most
    likely wiped out.

    Ok found out how to get to ownership via properties, sharing, advanced
    .... & got the ownership straightened out. Thanks.
