Hi,

Check under other user profiles at C:\Documents and Settings. Upgrading does
not usually result in the loss of files, but I have seen several cases where
documents and folders housed on the desktop of a Win9x system are lost
during an XP upgrade. Just one more reason why backing up before upgrading
is so important.
