Change ownership

How do I make a change to access a /windows/C folder? It keeps telling me that I don't have rights to access it. IT'S MY COMPUTER...WHO DOES THIS COMPUTER THINK IT IS TO TELL ME I CAN'T ACCESS MY OWN FILE!!!! Sorry, lost it there. Been a long day. I created a link on the desktop to my win2k partition on another drive. When I click it, it open Kong and tells me I don't have permissions. When I use "super user file manager" I have no problem. I'd rahter make it easy and access it the first way. Do I need to "chown" something? Tom
