I just re-installed XP and was setting up my users, but
in the process I marked a folder as "private" - Later, I
ended up deleting that user account... so now there is a
folder on the hard drive that is "private" and will not
let me access it / delete it. Any thoughts on how I
could get rid of this folder? I even went as far as
creating a new user account with the same name as the one
that was used to mark the account private. Any help would
be great.
 
Logon as Administrator and take ownership of the folder,
you can do this by right clicking on "My Computer" and
clicking on "Manage" expand "Shared folders" in the left
windows, click on "Shares", right click on the folder.
