win 200 pro to win 2000 server, username corruption

It depends if the folder was encrypted or not. If it
wasn't encrypted, all you need to do is take ownership of
it with the Administrator's rights and then give
Administrator or yourself access to the folder. If it was
encrypted, then you're out of luck. The accounts with
question marks beside them were accounts that were ACL's
in the Windows 2000 Professional installation. It is ok
for you to delete them.
