| My system crashed and I reloaded Windows XP.  I did not format because I did not want to lose my documents. 
Upon the completion of the installation I created my user accounts.  When I go into explorer and go to my user 
folder I see two of them.  One is C:\Documents and Settings\Frank and the other is C:\Documents and 
Settings\FrankHOME.000.  I cannot access my old folder.  I get access is denied messages.  Is there anyway to 
copy the contents of my old user folder for which the account does not exist anymore to my new user account? 
Sorry if this does not make much sense I am in a real bind have tons of personal docs in this folder.
