Write-Protected

I had windows xp home before, and I had set files to private. After I upgraded to to XP PRo, I used same username for the new user name.

Now, my files are set to Write-protected and I can not access them.
So, I am went ahead and tried Knoobix, and it works for me. I can access the files in that folder through Knoobix. Is it possible to change the folder settings so I can view the files while I am using Windows Xp PRo.


I was thinking of moving files to the new user from Old user through Knoobix, I read the tool has been taken and it might mess up the data. :?


If it is not possible, maybe then a way to delete the files, sicne they are just taking up space. :roll:

I can't do either of the following?

Delete NTfs Files through Unix

Change setting of folders from Private to public either through linux or windows.

Thank you for taking the time to read this thread. I foudn the solution today ^_^
