PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I reinstalled Windows XP using the recovery disk that came with my
system. I renamed my profile to be the same as what it had been before.
Now, all of my pics in my My Documents folder are gone. Please help as I
need them. Thanx!

you over wrote the directory. Go out and purchase an unerase utility such
as Norton and do NOT use the computer until you get the software.
DO NOT install Norton but run it form disk. The chances are good that your
pics are gone but try Norton an find out!

Hi,
I suppose this relates to your old "my documents" folder? I had the same
problem. However, it was not overwriting. Regardless if you give your
profile the same name, XP treats it as a new profile. Try to log in as
administrator and take ownership over the old folder (if you can find it).
Then you can copy your files to your new "my documents folder"

I hope this helps.
