Hi!

I have a problem that has occured after I installed Windows XP Professional
on my computer. Before I had a, what it turned out to be, copy of Windows XP
Home. When I realised this I bought XP Professional. This is when my problems
started.

After installing I realised that all my documents etc. was stored in my
documents in my user in windows XP Home. As it turns out to be I can't get
access to them in my new user in XP professional. However it is no problem to
get access to the documents in another account from XP Home, that had no
administrator rights. I know for a fact that all files still exists on my
hardrive but how can I get access to them?

Anyone know how I can solve this problem?

Regards,
