Recovering User Profiles

[Martine Osias]

Since my OS crashed I've had to reinstall WinXP. Does anyone know how I can
recover user profiles? Although I log on with admin password I do not seem
able to open the user folders from the previous installation.

Hi Martine,

"Access denied", huh? This should help:
