Hey there ,
  1. Right-click the folder and click Properties.
  2. Click the Sharing tab.
  3. Check the box Make this folder private
  4. Click Apply
  5. Then type in a password
.

Try moving it out of Program Files.

but it may be because your account is not 'Administrator'

Yes GaRHaR is right, the folder needs to be somewhere in your personal profile (c:\documents and settings\%username%).
