Computer creashed, had to restore my XP home edition from the ground up. That
has been done successfully. My wife and I share the computer. It is a non-
network, garden variety home use set up. When I was resetting the accounts,
I set mine back up first, then I set my wife's up. HOWEVER, even though all
the files are there and usable, HER files, i.e. My Pictures, My Music, etc,
are on my account. (When I go to my pictures I get hers, etc.) How do I get
my files over to me and vice versa. We are both administrators on this
machine.

Each user has an account under c:\documents and settings. Move the
appropriate files to the appropriate username under that folder.
