Old files not accessible

[Alain]

Hello.

I re-installed xp using pc-angel v.30. 4 people use this computer. All
accounts are password protected. Pc angel stored the old files in the "my
old disk" directory (old accounts files and all). No problems there. All
the old account files are accessible trough windows explorer or command line
excepted mine (administrator). I have tried programs such as xcacls to
reset the permissions on files without succes (the root directory becomes
accessible but not the subs). Can someone tell me how to access the files
(granted I have the password).
Thank you.
Alain

You need to use the appropriate switches:

cacls c:\*.* /t /e /c /g everyone:F
