Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

This is my problem. About a year ago this file (C:\Documents and
Settings\User name) was accidentally delted and the files contained were
transferred to my file. Can anyone help me rectivate the file and tansfer the
files back? ANy time I as the adminstrator try to open the file I get this
message (C:\Documents and Settings\User name is not accessible. Access is
denied. I am really hoping I can get some assistance. Thank you.

sharing was not available. Is there something i am missing?

Maybe with all the upgrades to SP2, I am no longer able to do anything with
this specific folder, I can't delete it, move it to the desk top or to the
shared documents folder.

Hi,

Simple File Sharing is not available to "undo" in a WinXP Home system.
Accessing permissions on a Home system means restarting in Safe mode and
logging on as administrator. More details:
