Lost user accts.



After getting an iPod for Christmas, my girlfriend added a new user to our
Dell desktop (WinXP Pro). This was the 3rd user account on this machine
(not counting Guest which is turned off). We were able to switch between
the new (3rd) user and the original user accounts UNTIL we shut the machine
off. When it rebooted only the new user appears on the screen, and we
cannot access all of the files on the computer...although they all appear to
be intact when viewed in My Computer. Any ideas would be
appreciated...thanks in advance.
