I had to do a reinstall for EX Home due to a virus which
currupted sys. files. While I can still see the programs
on the C drive under C:\Programs...I CANNOT access any
from the Adm. Account.

Is there any way to access the old adm account which was
the primary account prior to the reinstall?

Is there a way to access the prog(s) under the new adm.
account?

Thanks
 
Did you do an upgrade install or a full install? Also, did you mark
the Administrative data "encrypted"? If you did a full install and
had the one the last case, you have lost this data (without using a
very expensive data recovery service).

If you did just a full install, you need to change the permission on
the Documents & Settings\username folder. Do this in Safe Mode -
right click on the folder and select the security options.
