Hi, I cant access my documents folder beacuse windows xp crashed and have no
way to run windows. I put the drive in another xp computer and can see some
folders problem is that i had it protected and need to log on to view my
files. Is there a way to access my files if i log on as another user. Thanks
 
How did you protect these files? Some encryption can block
access unless you use the same account and recovery of such
data can be very difficult. You can try using the
procedures list in this article,
see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308421

If this doesn't solve your problem, post back and somebody
with more experience may have a solution.
