sharing and security

[Bob]

when I used XP Home, one folder was marked as private for one of the users.
After installing XP Pro over XP Home that folder is still private but noone
can access it, not even the same "user" that was created in XP Pro after
installation. Do I assume that XP is waiting for the "XP Home user" to
appear to be able access the folder and since all users are now "XP Pro
Users" nobody will ever access the folder? Yikes! what do I do??

No I can access the folder and files, but they won´t appear in Windows
Picture & Fax Viewer ... and can´t delete them either, get a Access is
denied msg .... any way I can either correct *.jpeg so I can view photos or
at least delete them?
TIA
