Recovering My Documents
I had to re-install Windows. This was done such that the
original User Account folders and contents were preserved. However, I can't get to them because they were marked as private in the previous installation. Is there a registry setting or file I can modify to remove the security setting on these folders as private such that I can recover them and move them to the new installations corresponding folders. I was able to do that for the one user account that was not marked private under the original installation. Help! |
