I have two folders on my computer right now that both say I do not have
privileges to access or delete even after escilating my privileges with UAC.
Is there any way I can fix these folders? The claim to have a "undisplayable
owner" and I cannot get myself or admin to be the owner.

What are the folders, or is that a secret?

Have you tried taking ownership?

How would I "take ownership" other then by using the security options in
properties which I already tried and it failed.

They were created when an installer messed up actually that I had made. And
I guess somehow it was just fixed when I rebooted this morning ...
