Here's the story... I was eating at the local Pizza Hut, watching some iTunes videos on my tablet PC (XP Tablet edition OS)... this fncking count (pronounced like "country" without the "ry" at the end) of a waitress drops THREE fncking full glasses of Mountain Dew right onto my tablet PC! HOLY FnCKING SHIT! I told her to hurry and get something to dry it off. I turned it off, while this count S-L-O-W-L-Y walked in back and came back with a SOAKING WET RAG!
I ran around to some empty tables and snagged the napkins and blotted it dry. I get home and start it up. BSOD! I decide to try using the recovery discs that came with the computer. I had a choice to do a clean install or do an install that would save all my data in a backup folder. I chose the second option. Now I can't open the folder in the Documents & Setting folders that contains all my iTunes sh!t. How do I get this fncking folder open?!?!? I'm assuming it's locked because it thinks it belongs to a different user. I know the user name ans password for that account, if that helps.

Check out a program called Winternals. It's a boot disc that is essentially windows on a CD/DVD. It's awesome. It has no boundaries. I use it all the time when d00ma$$es lock their administrator password, or do what you did (not calling you a dumbass... just saying that count should die lol). I am now boycotting Pizza Hut... how dare they do that to a tablet PC??? _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

My family and I were regulars there... typically 5-6 meals/week... some lunches, some dinners... we have not been back since.
I foundsome way around it botting in safe mode... but Winternals sounds like a winner I need to try out.
Another PH waitress is in my son's Spanish class, so we get updates. Apparently, she's generated numerous complaints and is now on sh!t duty... she always gets stuck doing the sh!tty jobs no one else wants, in an effort to get her to quit! _________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room

Did you ever figure this out? I can probably walk you through it if you still have access to the folder (meaning you know where it is at) and if you have administrator account access. IM me if you need assistance. _________________ Regards,
