I recently had to reinstall windows xp home edition to
fix a variety of errors. My hard drive still has all old
data in tact. However, I cannot find a way to access my
old "My Documents" folder. When I try to open it, it
gives me a "Access Denied" error. I have also tried
accessing through the DOS prompt, getting the same
error. Anyone know how to open my previous "My
Documents" folder???
-Thanks
