To access your documents and move or copy them to another flder, login as
administrator.

Setup a new User yourname [but not same as previous].

Open up C:\Documents and Settings\oldusername\My Documents
Copy the entire contents of this folder to:
C:\Documents and Settings\new username\My Documents

Log off as administrator and login as newusername

See then if all your documents are viewable under 'My Documents'
also check that all your internet shortcuts are there.

These all should have been copies across.

Then if all is OK, delete the oldusername from the User Accounts.
