remove make private

[ausieguy1]

I have a problem with a computer and wont boot up so I am using the hard
drive as a slave drive and want to access the files in my documents but the
problem is that the user profile was made private when setting up and I cant
access the file because of this. So I need to be able to unselect the make
private option. windows XP
