I had a major problem that required me to re-install XP. I tried to do a repair but it wouldn't work. I reinstalled it in a new folder called WinXP so I wouldn't overwrite any of my pervious files in the original Windows folder

Anyway, now I can't get in to my old "Administrator" account's folder in the "Documents and Settings" folder. It says "access denied". Since I have XP Home there is no way that I can find to change permission to open this folder. Any idea's, I really need to get in to this folder.
