XP Files to Vista

Grumpy Old Git

I used the NTBackupRestore utility to get my XP files from my backup drive
to my new PC (XP PC is defunct). I then tried to copy, for example, my
Favorites files (in C:\OldStuff\Favorites) into the Vista favorites folder.
Didn't work because of permissions problems. Is there an easy way round
this? Since I got this new PC with Vista I have spent nearly all my time
trying to get the old XP files restored. Vista is a pain in the neck.
