Nepatsfan you are a lifesaver.
I've lost count of the number of computer shops I have been
to where the 'technician's' had that blank look on their
faces when I described my problem to them.
Ask the right person and you get the right reply...the hard
part is finding the right person. You de man Nepatsfan;
thanks again!!! --

Hi,
Due to pulling out the battery on my laptop at an
inopportune time I corrupted XP and it would not boot.
Backed up some files (removed H/Drive from laptop, put into
desktop and copied files to desktop H/Drive) then
re-installed XP. Now however a different configuration has
been set up on the laptop that no longer allows access to
the password protected files I backed up. When I double
click on the folders they tell me access is denied. I know
the password but do not know how to access them as the
'User' no longer exists. Any suggestions??
Cheers,

If you're running XP Pro, you need to disable Simple File
Sharing and take ownership of the files. If you're running
XP Home, you need to restart the laptop in Safe Mode.
Take a look at these articles for more info:

Folder http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810881
Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition,
you must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on
with an account that has Administrative rights to have
access to the Security tab. To start in Safe Mode, reboot
your computer and start tapping the F8 key as soon as you
see anything displayed on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until
the Advanced Startup Options menu appears. Use the up and
down arrow keys on your keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit
Enter.
Good luck
