I recently had a Windows XP HE crash that caused me to reinstall the
application. Not thinking, I created a new domain name and user name for
myself during the setup.

When I tried restoring my Microsoft Outlook 2003 files (outlook.pst,
archive.pst, etc) to my machine from a Novastor 7 backup, the files
restored, but I only get "Access Denied" messages when I try to access them
in any way. I'm assuming, because of the the old permissions. I REALLY
NEED THESE FILES! Any ideas how I can regain access to them?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Martin
