Is there a straightforward way to fix the "Access Denied" problem on files
created by the Administrator using NotePad?

Is this problem something Microsoft offers a solution to?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

What "Access Denied" problem? There is no common "Access Denied problem
on files created by the Administrator using NotePad". You need to give a
lot more details about what you are doing, the version of XP you are
using, user accounts on the system, whether this is a standalone machine
or member of a domain, and the full path of where the files reside.

In the meantime, perhaps taking ownership is the answer:
