XP MCE Boot problem

Hey guys,
I was hoping you could come to my rescue yet again. I'm havin a big problem here with my windows. Normally, i wouldnt care and I would just reformat, however i NEED files that are locked in "my documents" folder. I was hoping you could tell me how i could accesss this folder without being on that administrator account. I installed XP Pro on the same drive, but when i click on my computer/c/docs and settings/my docs, i get the "access is denied" message. I cant boot up to my original windows installation because it will just restart after the Windows XP screen comes up right before the welcome screen. There's a blue screen that flashes, but its restarts too quickly to see what it says.
Bottom line is that I need access to the my documents folder in my original windows installation. Please offer any assistance you can.

Thank You
Rob

If you have adminitrator privillages on your account you can take ownership of the folder.

 

This is how: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308421

 

My problem is that I cannot log on to that windows account. The only way I can even access my computer is because I installed another copy of windows on the same computer. I can see the folder when I go to documents and settings, but I cannot open the "my documents" folder. These are VERY important documents in this folder, and I have learned my lesson. I will back up my dada more frequently, but in the mean time, I need these files. Does anyone know a way that i can access the folder from my other windows installation?

 

Just Playin.. I dont know who you are, but i'm going to buy you a beer. You are a genius. I now have access to this folder and ALL its contents. I can't thank you enough. You've saved my life.

THANK YOU

 

You too trentw2323. I now see what you meant about "having administrative privledges" Thank you both
