I was playing around with Security in "My Documents" folder. I forgot
what I did, but I think click Deny - read and apply. (I was going to
leave but my friend stays home, I don't want him to read my documents).
Then when I restore the security setting and try to enter the Games
folder, a pop up window appears:

D:\My Documents\Games is not accessible. Access is denied.

When I tried to right click on the folder and click the security tab,
pop up again:

"You do not have permission to view the current permission settings for
Games, but you can make permission changes."

I am set as an administrator (with different user name) but I cannot
access Games folder and I'm not completely understand security settings,
I don't want to mess it up further so any help is much appreciate.

tia,

Try this as the simplest solution. Open the security tab on My Documents
and click the Advanced button. Check the box that says "Replace
permission entries ..." and click Apply. That should fix it, but it will
also affect all other files and subfolders, but that shouldn't be a
problem.
