i'm using a 512mb, 2.5ghz compaq presario
my problem is that, i did a system recovery because when i opened internet explorer nothig was loading. so after i did system recovery when it started the only thing that was on my desktop was IE and recycle bin. It said "click ok to close active desktop html". i tried going in safe mode and security and giving permission, and that allowed me to access c://documentsandsettings/Owner/desktop but it didn't allow me to access sub folders in it or any of my documents. it says cant access document for everythig under Owner. i tried many thigs and these documents are very important to me so please some1 help. thank you.

Hi sivbala14...

Try Taking Ownership of the folder. If you have XP Home installed, you will have to do this from the Safe Mode Administrator account.
