Windows 7 won't allow me access recovered files

My recovered files are mainly Word docs but when I try to open I get message that I don’t have permission to access. These docs were never password protected when saved or backed up.

Help please as all my work files are now locked down!

You might need to take ownership of the file, you can follow the information in the link below.
