Getting access to a user files.

[Nigel]

Hi

I have recently upgraded my home PC to Win XP Pro from
the 'home' edition and as administrator created users for
my family members. Somehow, and I haven't got a clue how
this happened, I have a set of users files for a user yet
the user doesn't exist. The users name is nigel, so I
know it's my users files from the previous installation of
Windows XP. I need to get into 'My Documents' to retrieve
some of my files but can't get access, even as
administrator.

Any ideas?

Regards

Nigel
