My mum's PC screwed up so she recovered it using recovery console. That is all good but when you try to access any of the users folders (that were copied to a backup folder when windows was repaired) now says access denied when you try to access it. We are logged on with a computer administrator account already.

I would love to be able to get to the pictures I had saved in there from before I left home.

The PC is running Windows XP Home SP3.

Thanks
 
If it's actually a permission problem, one of these program may help restore it:

RatsCheddar

  • 1Download RatsCheddar.zip and save it to your desktop.
  • 2Extract (unzip) the file to the desktop.
  • 3Double-click on RatsCheddar.exe to launch the tool.
  • 4Select Enable for everything listed, then click Exit.
  • 5Restart your computer.

OR

FixPolicies.exe from Bill Castner:
  • 1Download FixPolicies by Bill Castner and save to your desktop
  • 2Double click on FixPolicies.exe to run it.
  • 3Click on Install. It will create a folder named FixPolicies on your desktop.
