I recently had to re-install windows XP In the previous
install there was a user folder under doccuments and
settings that was protected from snooping by others.
Since the re-install, I have no access at all to this
directory, and I cannot retrieve any information from it.
So, how can i delete this folder and sub folders if i
cannot gain access? wheni try to delete, it says that
access is denied. This is takeing up about 2GB of drive
space, and I want it gone now

Thanks in Advance
