Most Vista users have encounter the following type of message: "Access denied" when trying to edit some files or folder.

To solve this problem:

Right click the folder you want to change the rights> Properties, then display the Security tab.

Click Advanced and go to the Owner tab.
Click on Edit.
Select your username, and tick the box "Replace owner on sub containers and objects".
Click "OK".
Select "Yes", then click "OK".
Validate the other windows by clicking on "OK"

Now you have access to your file.
