If you are a computer user you may occasionally run into a problem with areas and files restricted from access. This can be either a preset on the computer when the operating system was first installed, or someone could have created restrictions to restrict access at a later date. Whatever the reason, it is possible to remove the restrictions created, giving you total access to the computer.
