Add your username to the Admintrator account.
What OS are you using on the server? I'm assuming it's Server 2003 or SBS.

Is it User Account Control (UAC) stopping you?
You can turn it off in system settings IIRC.

Or go to users and accounts and turn it off, it's not hidden.

Yeah, can be a right pain in the arse. We've had some third party software that will not run with it switched on

Logon as the local administrator to your server. If you can delete files and folders from there it's a problem with your profile.
