Hi there,

Manage to recover all the important files but cannot try as I might delete
the single folder David in Documents & Settings just get the message Cannot
delete David Access is denied?

Is there a way of deleting this folder?

Many thanks, Tim.

Hi there,

I have been struggling with a Partition problem with Windows XP Pro I had
a
Partition that had a user David which was password protected and had a
second user (administrator) some how I seem to have managed to delete the
user David but I asked to keep the user David's files but I cannot see the
files anywhere.

If I go into Windows Explorer I can see a User name of David but there are
no files showing with this folder nor can I gain access.

Does anyone have any ideas as to where I might be able to find the files
for
this user or resurrect this user?

Many thanks, Tim.
