XP Home or XP Pro?

(Pretty sure PRO.. but..)

If Home..
Reboot into Safe Mode and log in as the administrator and put your documents
elsewhere..
Or
Take ownership of the administrator's folder.. (links later in this
answer.)

If Pro..
Reboot and at the welcome screen, press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice.. Log in as
administrator.
Or
Take ownership of the administrator's folder
