User accounts

[bigbob]

I recently changed my user account from "system administrator" to "limited".
When I changed it back (whilst logged in on a different user account) all of
my personal files ("my music", "my pictures" etc.) had gone!! I guess that
they are still on my computer but cannot be accessed. Can anybody help?

Did you look under the Documents and Settings folder to see if your old user
is there?
