Sharing

[Guest]

I have protected some of my folders as Private in Windows XP Pro. When I made
a clean re-install of XP Pro I cant seem to access these folders anymore. It
keeps on saying access denied. I really need to get acces. How can I?

You need to disable Simple File Sharing and take ownership of
the files. Take a look at these articles for more info:
