I just upgraded my system from ME to XP. When I opened
the system in XP, the my documents folder is empty. It
had previously contained a large number of files and
documents. I used the steps under quick upgrade in the
installation instructions. Where did my files go when XP
was installed; how can they be retrieved? Appreciate any
help.

Didn't backup your files, eh? Let this be a lesson to you.
