Boot into Safe Mode
Right click the folder and select Properties. Select the Security Tab and click the Advanced button. You'll see an Owner tab so add your User Name to the list
You may need to go to My Computer/Tools/Folder Options/View tab and uncheck "Use simple file sharing" or you won't have a Security tab otherwise. (I`m not sure if this step applies to HOME or not)
You need to be using an Admin Account to do it.
Once you have given yourself permission you will not get the “Access Denied” message.
To apply to subfolders check the box "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" before you click “Apply”

Allow:
cacls "driveletter:\System Volume Information" /E /G username:F
Deny:
cacls "driveletter:\System Volume Information" /E /R username
Replace "driveletter" with C, or whatever. Username with your login name.
After you run the command to allow, you can open system volume information., but it just contains system restore points.
You should run the "deny" command after you are finished browsing, so hackers won't mess up things.
