If only I had done some proper research before upgrading my mobo I would not
be in this situation but, I am

I fitted a new cpu, mobo and graphics card yesterday and expected WXP to
wake up quite happy after I put everything together - as I now know, this
was more than a little foolish. I have now reistalled WXP on the same
partition and have started installing my apps again but I am hitting
constant snags because I think they are conflicting with the existing
installations. More importantly however, is the fact that I cannot acces my
old documents folder. Windows reports - that the folder is not accessible -
Access is denied. Is there a way around this - I really do need those
documents!
 
you are now a different user!

The simplest way is to go to the documents and settings directory and right
click properties chooses advanced if you don't see your username or anything
else I have said go to help and look for resetting file permissions.

If you do see your username give yourself full control and check the box
to apply to all subfolders.

You should be all set!
