When I installed XP I set up an Administator account and
used it for month. I then decided to set up another
adminstator account. Later that day I turned my laptop on
and the original account had disappeared. The files are
still in existence but I can't get access since I made
the files private. When I go to switch user there is only
one option, the second account I created... any ideas how
I get access to my other files?

Thank you
 
I'm sure that if you encrypted them as the administrator, then any other
person with administrative rights has access to them anyway. :-/
 
Which would kinda defeat the point of encrypting them...Once encrypted, only
the owner can decrypt them. Taking ownership won't help unless you have the
password disk AFAIK...
