Hello all!

I had a previous installation of Windows XP installed on my computer, and
due to a problem in one of my softwares, I decided to re-install Windows XP.
So I backed-up my files and installed a new version of Windows XP on my
computer after formatting the Windows partition. However, after installing
the new Windows XP, I found out that I can not use the files and folder which
I used to store in my "my documents" folder (in another partition), since I
had a password-protected user account in my previous installation of Windows
XP. Now whenever I try to open this folder, I receive the following message:

====
D:\My documents is not accessible.
Access is denied.
====

Now I need the valuable information in my previous "my documents" folder,
and can not access to them at all! Please help me if you can let me know the
solution to this problem!

Regards,
Shahab
 
if you login as administrator on the machine and you can 'take ownership' of
the files and then make them accessible to the new user account. for exact
procedure search for 'take ownership' in the windows help.
