Sure.

My Computer --> %DRIVE/FOLDER --> right click --> properties -->
security tab --> advanced --> permissions or owner depending on what you
need to do long term.

Subject: Bypassing NTFS ACL

I've got domain admin access to a Windows 2003 server, and 
have encountered a series of directories that are protected 
by custom ACLs which do not include any group I am a member 
of and are not inheriting the ACL of their parent directory.  

I know there are plenty of simple solutions to this problem 
such as joining the group, taking ownership of the directory, 
etc, however I'm looking for a slightly more difficult 
solution that wouldn't be noticed.
I want to bypass the ACL.

I figured that if root can do it in UNIX, SYSTEM could do it 
in Windows, but it looks like I'm wrong:
--
C:\> whoami
nt authority\system

C:\> cd somedir
Access is denied.
--

Is there any means of bypassing the ACL while the system is 
online without rewriting it?

I'm going to reiterate: Yes there are plenty of other ways to 
do this, but I want to be difficult :)  This could come in 
handy later on.

Thanks,

- Chris
