Hi
This might be a bit of a simple question, but I've not found anyone with an
answer.
What happens to the "my document" files in a user account when the account
is closed?



Eats, roots and leaves.
 
When a User/Profile is deleted - XP will ask whether to "Keep" or delete
the Users profile under C:\Documents and Settings.
 
If one were to delete an existing User Account,
and not backup the files when prompted to do
so, then all files belonging to that particular
User are permanently deleted.

Unless one deliberately opts to save it, it's completely and
permanently (short of paying $$$$ to a data recovery company) deleted.
