Apologies for another repeat... My email now sorted!

I had a problem with my XP OS: I reinstalled keeping the
existing file structure. Under the previous structure, we
had four users. I had kept my directory secure so it
couldn't be access thro other logins. Now, with the
reinstall I can't access my work. The other three are all
fine... but my directory is visible. I can't open it,
can't move it, can't delete it... I want to access it: the
last week's work is not backed up. At worst, I want to
move it so it doesn't take so much space on my partition.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Thanks!
