Login to the system with an account with administrative privileges.
Navigate to the folder.
Right click and choose Properties.
Click the security tab.
Click Add.
Add the user account which shoukld have rights and click OK.
Highlight the account in the text scrool box and then choose whatever permission the user requires (this may be full control on the local system if the folder has documents or such in it).
Click Apply.
Click Ok.
Rights should be restored at this point.
