I run email on Microsoft Outlook and use XP Pro.
Originally I only had one user account "Administrator"
but then created 3 accounts "A", "B", & "C" for members
of the family. All are titled "Computer Administrator."
The problem is, when I did this I lost all saved email
messages, my address book etc. in Outlook. I can no
longer locate this "Administrator" account and the saved
emails and everything are no where to be found in any of
the three accounts. Is there anyway I can restore that
account or get my address book and saved emails back?
Thanks in advance!
 
Hi -

Your Administrator account still exists - it's just hidden from the Welcome
screen now that you've got those other accounts.

Hit Ctrl+Alt+Del twice, and you will be presented with the "classic" logon
dialog. From here you can log on as Administrator.

Once you're in, copy the data out to one of your other profiles. For
details, see:
