You need to take NTFS Ownership of the folder. To do that, right-click the folder and choose Properties > Security and then click the Advanced button. A new panel appears. Click the Ownership tab and then assign Ownership to the account you're using now.

To do this in WinXP Pro, either disable Simple File Sharing (Control Panel > Folder Options > View tab > scroll way down) or boot in Safe Mode. To do this in WinXP Home, boot in Safe Mode. Win2000 is ok as-is.
