If the containing folder has any restrictions on it those restrictions will be inherited by any subfolders and files. Go to the properties of the folder you want access to, then to the "Security" tab, click "Advanced" button. Then uncheck "Inherit from parent the permissions~"
If this does not work you may need to explicitly add your user under the "Security" tab as well as under the "Sharing" tab.
Hope this helps
