Maybe he has full security turned on, like I do. Mooney, right-click on the folder that's denied to you, choose Properties, click on Security. Depends on the OS, if there is a checkbox for Allow Inheritable permissions, blah blah, tick it, click ok. If there isn't, click on Add, type in Everyone, ok ok. If the security tab is missing, make sure you are an Adminstrator. If the security tab is all greyed out, you need to take ownership first. I'll expain that if the above stuff doesn't work.
