Please lose the caps. It's considered yelling, is incredibly rude and makes
your posts extremely hard to read.

Please post back, when you've read, and inwardly digested, the following: -

Lee, please be patience for a moment while I rant for a moment..

"is incredibly rude"... You are by far the *rudest person* /ever/ to post in
these newsgroups! Again, why do you waste your time in here if you are not
going to provide assistance to individuals in need.

Sorry Lee, I am back now... Let's see, you had a problem with Windows and
had to change your password. It sounds like you are logging into windows
under a different user account. If you navigate to c:\documents and setting
folder you will see the accounts for that computer. See if your files are
stored in the My Documents folder of any of those accounts listed (if there
are any)

Let me know what you find,

Best of luck!

Michael,

You'll have to admit that it's better having "The Tick"
spend her time here, pleading for attention, than having
her roaming the parks molesting the statues.

I am, am I..? And you're basing that on what, exactly? Suggest you use
Google Groups and search for "°°MS-Publisher°°" as the author. You'll find
I'm extremely polite by comparison... I'm only 'rude' to those who deserve
it. Butt-munchers and arse kissers like you for example...

You've never answered my question anyway. How can you see my posts when you
have me killfiled...?

Funny, I just googled "author:°°MS-Publisher°° ". I looked at his/her 50
most recent posts, and it seems like this person just doesn't like people
who post wrong information, George W. Bush and *you* (and someone named
JoAnn). It seems like your the rude one in those posts, and this person
actually tries to help people in a polite manner, or at all.

Some posts are shaky, but he/she seems like a saint compared to you.

hmmm! sounds like someone killed your registry start menu
items and related shortcuts. Provided that theure still on
the drive, in your Program Files folder, you can manually
restore shortcuts. If however the "software" keys were
tampered with then you you must reinstall windows. If you
need to do the latter, then after all is done, open registry
editor and export a backup from the top section. Save this
on CD, if possible.

Did you change to a new password or change to a new account? Did you
protect these files with EFS or simply used NTFS to protect them?

If you changed to a new account, disk is formatted with NTFS and did *not*
use EFS, XP is still protecting the old data files for your old user
account. Take ownership of the files to regain access to them:
HOW TO: Take Ownership of a File or Folder in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=308421

Any start menu shortcuts that were in your old start menu folders, can be
copied over to the start menu folders for your new account. The folders you
need to look at are :
Documents and Settings\<old account>\Start Menu
Documents and Settings\<new account>\Start menu
