If XP Home then you are free from EFS worries as it
does not do EFS encryption.
Post back if taking ownership and letting it reset permissions
so that the administrator account you are using has permissions
and you still do not have access to the files (because they are
in fact EFS encrypted)

Whatever you do, do not alter the old profile (beyond the
taking ownership which you have likely already done).
