I wonder if the 'administrator' has access to all user's
files? And if so, how can I log on as that administrator?
I accidentally deleted myself as a "user with admin
priveleges" and now cannot access my years of work !! Can
you tell me a way to fix it? BTW when I boot up, there is
NO 'select user' screen...I am on XP PRO Thanks Red
