I backed up my data files using the Windows backup utility and did a clean
install of Windows. The problem is I have a different username in the new
setup, and can't access my old files under "My Documents" (Access is
denied). These are in a directory under my old username. I can tinker with
the sharing and security settings for each directory, one by one, but that
will be time-consuming. I want to transfer these to my new user directory;
is there a quick way to do it?
