Problem Accessing Files; Administrator

[Louis Ross]

I am not sure why but all of my files on my hardrive were
located on Administrator (where I always logged on as)
and now I cannot access/find them. The files suddenly
dissapeared after attempted to create new users. The
Administrator file icon shows up but when attempting to
access an error message is shown ("access denied") and
nothing shows up in it.

I assume that all of those files are still on my computer
but do not know how to access them. The situation is
critical, since they are 4 years of work files and I did
not back up the hard drive.

Help would GREATLY be appreciated.

Regards,

Log in to a safe mode boot as the Administrator account=20
and copy the files out to somewhere accessible by your=20
new account.
When you created added accounts, the built-in account=20
became no longer listed on the Welcome screen. It is=20
still there. You can force it to display again on the=20
Welcome screen using TweakUI.
