Corrupt Profile.

[junxt99]

Basic Problem in XP Home

Profile A got currupt.
Created Profile B so that I could delete Profile A.
When asked if I wanted to delete all Profile A's files selected No.
Realised had alot of photo's I wanted to keep in Profile A's M
Documents.
Used System Restore to restore to a point where Profile A wasn'
corrupt to recover the usual crap - playlists, photo's & documents.
Tried copying files into My Documents file of Profile B.
Came up with a message saying unable to.
Copied files to different Hard Drive.
Resored Computer to original Point, basically to Profile B.
Found that not only that I couldn't delete Profile A's files but tha
there were files in Profile B's My Documents that I couldn't delete.

I want to get rid of these folders but I dont have access to them.
have heard rumblings that I could reboot in safe mode to the securit
tab and therefore reclaim these folders. Is that true. IF not an
sugestions
