Windows XP "no file access"
You're welcome. Glad to hear you were able to recover your
files.

I had to reinstall XP yesterday, and during the process
many of my files were backed up into a directory named My
Backup. Many of the files I recovered and have access, but
many others I cannot move, copy or open. I believe this has
something to do with re-naming "My Full Computer name" when
seting up the new install of XP, which locked the files?
Is there something I can change to allow me the "Owner" to
regain access to those files.
Thanks
You may need to take ownership of the files. Take a look

Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition,
you must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on
with an account that has Administrative rights to have
access to the Security tab. To start in Safe Mode, reboot
your computer and start tapping the F8 key as soon as you
see anything displayed on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until
the Advanced Startup Options menu appears. Use the up and
down arrow keys on your keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit
Enter.
Good luck
