I had my hard drive transferred to a new pc. I cannot access the numerous
(and important!) files under Documents and Settings/My Username on the new
pc. Apparently, Windows has restricted access to those files since it does
not recognize me on the new PC. The files all seem to be there (based on the
info from the properties of the documents and settings folder), but I cannot
see them.

Both old and new pc use XP Home.

How can I regain access to these files?

Thanks,

Chris
