Help... my laptop crashed. I have just removed the hardisk into an external enclosure and tried to plug it into my desktop which worked.

But it would not allow me to access the Folder 'Documents' where all my files are kept on my desktop.

'It says i do not have permission. Something like i am not the system administrator'

Can someone please help, i really need to copy all those files onto my deskstop?

I was told this is a security feature in XP. How do i disable this feature and access all those files?
