Hi,

What happens when you try to open the folder on C:\? Do you get "access
denied"? If so, then it's simply a permissions problem and the steps here
should resolve it: http://rickrogers.org/fixes.htm#Taking_ownership

You might also open Windows Explorer to C:\Documents and Settings and
explore the "desktop" folders under the other user profiles that were set
up. I've seen this happen a few times on these upgrades, and around half the
time they wind up in a default/owner account rather than the new profile.
Unfortunately, in the other half they appear to be permanently lost during
the upgrade - another reason why backups are so important to do.
