Hey on my computer I deleted a user account but not the personal files. Cuz I thought that I could get back into the "My Documents" because they are still there. The only problem is that when I try and open the folder in "Documents and Settings" it says that access is denied. Anyone else run into this problem and could give me a pointer.

Are you the computer administrator? You'd need to be, I'd imagine.

if your the admin of the comp you can, as stated above.

Yes. I even restarted in safe mode and went into the overall administrative account there.

then you cant? admin has access to everything.

Can you copy+Paste the folder, then re-create the account?

Copy+Paste the folder in case re-creating the account destroys it.

Nope can't copy and paste it. Gives the same error.

Which OS are you running? And are you absolutely sure you're on the admin account? Check the user account's through control panel and make sure it shows something like below for the account you're logged on to.

I'm not that big of a noob. I'm running xp. And I'm an admin.

how about system restore?

Change the permissions. First owner and then the rest of the permissions:

If you're not running WXP Pro, just boot into safe mode and you'll have all the same settings as Pro one on your Home version.

of course he can, unless he turned off system restore, but only a noob would do that Razz
