I need help with files on Windows XP...?

Question

My computer has 2 accounts, one is mine and the other is a family one. Something happened to my account and once I log in, it would freeze, and this makes my account virtually inaccessible. The family account is fine. The problem is that I password-protected my account, thus all my songs are not accessible from the family account. I have since removed the password but I'm still not able to get into my account from the family account (from C drive to Documents and Settings). It's frustrating because I'm changing computer soon and want to bring my songs along with me. Can someone help me? I'd really appreciate it.

Answer 1

There are so many possible reasons for this and different solutions. Start at the link below and keep digging. The answer will be in there if it's anywhere.

Answer 2

Is the family acct an administrator acct? Did you remove your password from the family acct or yours? If you can get to your acct at all for a short time before it freezes again you should right click on your folder in documents and settings and select sharing and security and then sharing. You probably have a tick in make this folder private. Untick it and then drag the folder to the shared documents folder. If you can do this before it freezes then you should be able to access the files from the family acct.
If this is not possible you could delete your acct from the family acct. when you do this it should ask if you want to keep the files to which you should answer yes!

Answer 3

If you create a new account with computer administrator privileges, and log into that, you should be able to access your files then. Good Luck
