I have been using my Administrator profile as my working profile. Recently, my profile became corrupted and I have set up a new administrator profile. However I am unable to access my old files or emails within outlook.Instructions I have found explain how to copy one user profile to another when logged in as a third administrator.I have followed these instructions, however when i try to highlight the files in my old (corrupt) profile i get the error message that access is denied. It also tells me that the folder is empty when i know it is not. I get the same result if I try to do this from any administrator account. HELP !! 1 person needs an answerI do too

Hi kevjmc, 1. Do you receive the error message with all the files and folders? I would suggest that you boot the computer into safe mode and later try to copy or move the files and folders check if it works. A description of the Safe Mode Boot options in Windows XPhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222 Hope this helps!Halima S - Microsoft Support.Visit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
