Wesley.

Hi.

Thank you for the quick response. I really appreciate it.

I did already try to go into safe mode and access the files but XP still would not let me.

Also, it is kind of weird, but while in Safe Mode XP would not let me go into certain folders/directories.

It said "Access Denied" even though I logged in in Safe Mode as an Adminstrator.

Additionally, I could not change any of the files' names while in as Administrator.

I thought that if I was logged in as an Administrator I could get into any directory but XP would not let me.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again.

Kevin
