problem with xp user accounts

eoinf · 2005-08-01 14:52:02

some of the user accounts on my pc have become corrupt and crash the pc when the user logs on. The problem is that the users my documents folders (some of which contain GB's of music vids ect) are now unaccessible i cant even delete them. can anyone suggest something to get back this lost space on the hard drive.

yeah you can delete them

just in any window goto tools-folder options- view- and untick use simple file sharing, okay that

then right click on the folder you want to open (or delete) and click properties- security, click on your account (or add it) and then tick all the allow boxes, then click advanced and tick "replace permissions on all child objects,ect" okay that and then click apply

folder is all yours
