I had Office XP prof. installed on my computer running XP with no problem. I
then had some problems with Windows running slowly and bogged down system
resources, so I wiped it clean and re-installed Win XP. I wanted to format
the drive, but it seemed to leave a lot of files on, just cleaned up the
Windows aspects by repairing.
Now, I am going to re-install Office but am getting an error half-way
through stating that I don't have access to the OLD user folder in Common
Files (documents and folders/common files/microsoft shared/'username').
I cannot delete this folder either b/c it says that I don't have privileges.
I would know the password for my old username, but I am never prompted.
Does anyone know how to either gain access to the old username folders or to
"hard" delete these folders and bypass the error messages?
I would be most appreciative. Thanks.
