Login as administrator or a user that has administrative rights.

Copy the files over. If you need to, you may need to take ownership and change rights.
1. Right click on the folder/properties/security.
Give the user full control
2. Click advanced
- check the box "replace permermissions,...."
and click Ok.

You want that unchecked (turned off) to get the security tab, and that only works if he has XP Pro, Home does not have that
