I reinstalled xp and my old accounts are gone yet their files in
documents and settings remain. I know how to claim ownership and stuff,
but is there a way to recreate those old accounts using the files in
those folders?
 
Hi,

Create a new account, then copy the old one into it. You'll find the
procedure described in detail here:

Next time you should try a repair installation rather than a reinstall. The
effect is the same, but the repair preserves the user accounts, software,
data, and settings.
