I’m running Win XP Pro, and when I created the user it asked if I wanted to make the files Private – I said YES. Now either bacause of a Virus or Crash I’ve had to reload the operating system – I went with the option of writing over the existing OS (instead of doing a full format) in hopes of recovering SOME of the files that may be lost and weren’t backed up! When creating the new user, my hopes were uplifted because it wouldn’t let me create a user with the same name as the old one (or Administrator and Guest) I created another user, when exploring in the C:\Documents & Settings folder, along with the new user’s file (and Administrator and the All Users) is the old user name folder (which would normally contain the MyDocuments, and Desktop etc. files) BUT I cant open it says “Not Accessable/Access Denied” Is that because on the previous install I asked for it to be private?Sooo my question is – how can I get to these files or even determine if there is valuable stuff there or it’s hopeless?
