Default !HELP! NEED HELP ACCESSING ACCOUNTS ON XP HOME EDITION

Until a few nights ago this computer (home computer) was
working fine. On it we had set up 5 users accounts (one
for each member of our family). My own user account was
set up with a password and in the security tab, I clicked
to make my files/folders private.

Since then my brother somehow deleted some startup files
that Windows XP needs to startup and run

All the files and folders that were still in my user
account are still there, but I reinstalled Win XP over
itself (so I can get XP to run) and now I cant access my
files and folders in my old account because my old user
account doesnt show up on the Welcome screen when XP
starts - but when I go into my new account and go to
c:\documents and settings folder, I can see my old
account folder there, but cant access it cause i somehow
need to enter my old password (which i do remember)....
Please help any help that you can give would be
greatly appreciated -

If you could please email me info on how to fix this at
as I may not watch this post that
often

Thank you in advance,
Tom
