Is there any way to recover files from another Windows XP account?
I was having a problem with Windows and got so pissed off that, without thinking, I immediately re-installed it from the CD. Problem now is that I can't access my old data files. Any ideas on how to get to those files?
I did a new install which should have overwritten the Windows directory, but my old user account directory (in the Documents and Settings folder) is still there. I just can't open it (access denied).
Whereas, for example, I *can* open the old 'All Users' folder--and it still has its original contents. So, I'm pretty sure my old files are still there, but I can't get to them because they are encrypted. Screwball...I realize now that when the installation program asked me if I wanted to 'upgrade' or do a 'new install', I should have chosen upgrade. I didn't because I was afraid Windows setup would not overwrite the newer system files, which is what I wanted it to do.
