We have a family computer at home (we share it), and we have always worked
with the profile that came by default; no problem so far, So, like a week
before I feel the need to protect some info so I create a new user profile
with administrative rights; and I move all my files to this account, and the
info that I needed to protect, and I protect the profile with a password.
With no reason I can explain the computer ask me to restore to a previous
date and I do so, but, when I start again the profile I have created was gone
and although I can see the files from the other profile (default) I can not
access them, and it said something like "access denied: no access
privileges". Please help me, some of the info has no backup, and if I lost
it would be like losing mi life.

We use Microsoft XP home edition

You need to take ownership of that directory.

And if those files are that important, you might want to consider backing
them up.
