Iâ€™ve make a full backup of my hard drive using XP backup. Sometime later I
purchased a new HD and restored this full backup to the new drive.
Everything works fine except that I canâ€™t access old email on one of the
three XP user accounts. I had three XP user accounts set up before and after
the BU, one of those accounts (mine) had an account user password set, the
others didnâ€™t. When I logged on as either of the two user accounts without
the passwords, they loaded up fine and all email (inbox and offline folders)
are present and working. When I logged on to the PW account, and opened my
email it acted as if the email was never set up. I went in and inserted the
necessary email account info. Outlook set it up as a new account and grabbed
all the new email I received since the last time I accessed my mail server,
but all old email and offline folders were gone. Using windows file
explorer, I went into tried to access my user account folder, but access was
denied. Iâ€™ve tried to open it in DOS to at least get a directory of the
folder, and again access denied. Iâ€™ve read many MS articles, but havenâ€™t
found any that helped. Iâ€™ve verified that the user account PW is the same as
it was before the backup, and I didnâ€™t do any other encryption to the file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
George

See if taking ownership of the folder gives you access. Take a
look here for the procedure:
