I just installed a new version of Windows XP, and made no
changes to the file system. The only thing the system did
was to reinstall the Windows XP system.

The problem I have, is that I cannot access my old home
directory. The directory exists but I am not able to
access.

What can I do, please reply to (e-mail address removed)


Your reply is highly appreciated.

Thanks
 
If you receive an "Access Denied" error opening the old home directories,
take Ownership of that folder. Login as Administrator from Safe mode (XP
Home)
