If you go to the documents and settings folder, then rightclick, you should see properties. Click that. Next, click the security tab, then click the advanced button. Next click the "Owner" tab, then click the edit button. Select your name, then check the box that says replace owner yada yada yada. You should be good to go.

I don't have a 'security' option under My Computer/Properties. (This is XP) The dialog has tabs for General, Computer Name, Hardware, Advanced, System Restore, Automatic Updater and Remote. Advanced has boxes for Performance, User Profiles, and Startup and Recover.
