Ok just to keep this straight I have Windows XP HOME
(NOT PROFESSIONAL).

I was having many problems a month back with Windows
XP so I decided to reinstall it. The old "My Documents"
directory that I had is still on my computer under a
different name. Now when I try to open that directory,
even on my administrative account, the file just says
access is denied. I cant figure out any way of getting in
to the directory, and the link below that I found on the
Microsoft web site only works for Windows XP Professional
even though it says it also works for Home Edition. Is
there any way to make this folder sharable again? I have
many things in there that are not replacable.

I thought that I had found what I needed to fix my
problem here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
scid=kb;en-us;810881&Product=winxp because it had
explained my problem perfectly, but the resolution it had
only works for Windows XP Professional, so I can not use
it.

Thank You.
 
I have the exact same problem and just posted about it
before reading your message. I hope someone has an answer!
