I deleted the account by mistake. Can I restore it?

[Seongeyl Lee]

Hello...

I'm now in big trouble.
I'm using a window XP pro.
I deleted my account by mistake
and after that all data in My document
is gone. I usually save all in that folder.
After I made new admin account, I could
see the previous folder. But when I tried to
open it, the message says "Access denied".

How can I get the data from that folder?
Actually, the folder size is smaller than
I had before. I'm afraid that I lose all data
in that folder.

Please help me if you know how to solve this
problem...
I'd appreciate your professional skill.

Thank you.

If there is anything left in the folder, you can "take ownership" of it.
Once that is done, you can access the files and copy them over to your
new account.
