if u have a live cd of ubuntu linux, insert it and restart the PC. ur first boot device needs to be set as ur CD/DVD ROM. u can change this by enterin the bios during startup (usually by pressing DEL). after linux boots, open My Disk (or something like that) navigate to the folder. if u have a flash drive, copy the contents to it. or if u have a net connection, just mail urself the contents. hope this helps.

^^ how troublesome... save yourself the trouble and copy the files to ANOTHER folder/drive. Simple, na?

First try to access the folder using Administrator account. If still unsuccessful, then boot from any bootable LINUX CD (many have been provided by Digit in the past) and access the folders. But, herelies another problem. Most of the live cds wont write to NTFS by default. So, if you have a FAT32 partition, then copy files to it OR copy to a flash drive OR write to a CD.

DISCLAIMER: Above works if you had not encrypted your files!
