I can view all files but I have importand files in XP my personal admin account as on my documents and settings, my pictures, and other files that was on XP windows desk. This files I can not view or open, it says it need admin rights to open. I can also say I had a log in pass for XP, I know that password. How can I get a hand of this importand files. There is a tool in Vista systemtools "Windows filetransfer" it say it can transfer accounts also. Can this help, and what folder should I transfer to my laptop, I know I have to transfer my documents and setting on my own account, but do I need the admin account and I have one more guest account I don't need that. Do I need to transfer the Windows folder? Is there anyother way to get hand of this admin locked files, any software I can use directly so I don't need to transfer? -- --------------------------------------- Was this post helpfull to you? --------------------------------------- |

| | Re: Admin files on XP need to open on other PC You will need to take ownership of those files and folders. After this is done, you should be able to copy them from the old hard drive to the new drive. See method two on this tutorial page.

| | Re: Admin files on XP need to open on other PC For some very strange way, it stoped working. I could take ownership and view even the files I had on XP desktop, I viewed two jpg files, but then suddently it stoped working and I can no longer take ownership of the files I have on the XP desktop. Files under My Documents work. -- --------------------------------------- Was this post helpfull to you? --------------------------------------- "Ronnie Vernon MVP" wrote: Quote: > You will need to take ownership of those files and folders.
