Windows XP: Windows XP Removed my main Admin account.
Windows XP Removed my main Admin account.
by bigtiger4x4 - 11/10/07 12:50 PMHi, My Windows XP x64 just removed my main Admin account. On my other post, I was talking about some dial log box was coming up, and I made another account, then when I was gonna restart, I logged out, and when It came to the start up screen, the main account was gone. I was able to get most of the files from that account by going to My Computer --> My Hard Drive -> Documents and Settings, and Administrator. But I cant get in My Documents, I have lots of important files I need. Does anyone know how I can get it back?
The trouble is

that you keep raising new discussions. It's not clear whether we have finished helping you in your first discussion about the message window that pops up. I fear this new problem is related, but because there are now 3 discussions, I can't follow what is happening, what has been advised, or attempted, or whatever.
About your Documents and Settings folders. You may need to Take Ownership. Read the following;

I never gotten another reply from the other post. Plus this post isnt really related to the other one.
I'd learn about taking ownership and more.

For instance, EXPLORER is not a great file browser. It adds and hides things.
As to your OS, it's a demo copy and XP64 so I expect you to have many troubles without any fix or recourse.
It's only a demo so I strongly suggest you never count on it.
