I'm the Administrator/User1 of my computer running Win XP Home. There were
no other users until a day ago, when I inadvertently, while in the Safe Mode
at the Security Tab, granted a Full access to <user1.YOUR-xxxx>.
Now I have a new <System> folder for <User1.YOUR-xxx> in the Documents and
Settings. Every time on a start up, machine signs on automatically to this
folder. As a result, I cannot get an easy access to all my old files stored
in the <User1> folder. Outlook Express 6 "does not see" the old mailboxes
and messages, the Address book is empty and so on. The <User1.YOURxxx>
folder cannot be deleted because it is a system folder (that what the
message says when I try do delete it!).
So, here are my questions: How do I get my <User1> identity back? How to
delete the <User1.YOUR-xxx> folder?
But this is not the only problem I'm heaving now. In the past, on a start up
in the Safe Mode, there was an option to continue as Administrator or as
User1. Not any more... Looks like I still have the Admin privileges, but
without this option on the start up.
Question: How to get back the start up options for Admin or User in the Safe
mode?
TIA
