Problem with Windows XP, It's Really Bad...

[Joe Warner]

The other day, I think monday, I turned on the computer,
and everything was going fine, and when I clicked on my
name to go into Windows XP, it came up as if I was
logging on for the first time, and my old account's
files, such as My Documents and My Pictures, where I had
EVERYTHING saved, isn't letting me in. When I go to
c:/documents and settings/ and double click my name, it
says Access is denied. Can anyone help me either access
these files?

ok i just saw that i'll need to log on in safe mode--how
do I do that?

As your computer starts to boot keep tapping the F8 key
and when the screen comes up select Safe Mode..
