[coffee man]

after reinstalling xp on an ntfs drive i have the old users folder
saved from the previous install...to my dismay i find that i cannot
access this folder....accsess denied error....the folder had been
marked as private in the earlier installation....i knew it was
protected but wrongly assumed i could get into it with
administratotors rights in the new install....how can i get access to
these files??
