Hi!
I'm having a problem accesing a folder in "Documents and Settings".
This is the situation: I reinstalled my winxp and left the D&S folder
on the hard drive. After I've set up my accounts in the new
installation, I can't get in my old documents folder. I guess it
remained protected and no one can get into it because the original
account(for that folder) doesn't exists anymore.
Can anyone tell me how to get my files again?
tnx

You probably need to take ownership of the folder. Take a look
