Folder permissions

[dan]

I just had to take a hard drive out of a broken XP machine and installed it
into a working XP machine. Problem is I cannot get into my C:\documents and
settings\myfolder

I had a password on my folder. I know about ownership in a domain but this
is a stand alone computer not connected to a domain.

Any ideas??

You still need to take ownership of the files.
