I've recently begun getting the bluescreen (Running Windows XP Student Home Edition). So, I installed another Windows on a different drive in order to access My Documents from the old Windows. Unfortunately, however, I can't because I password protected it and requested in User Accounts that all my files and folders be made private. Thus, access is denied to me when I try to enter through any other Windows or account. Plus, I can't go in through Safe Mode to remove my stuff either for about 5 minutes in I get the bluescreen there as well. And, even though I did manage to remove my password, I couldn't remove the private lock and that's my question: How do I remove the private lock? Where's the option at, because it didn't ask me when I removed my password.


Thanks for any and all help.

I wonder if you could access using UBUNTU
http://www.ubuntu.com/
download the ISO and make a bootable CD and then run the program OFF the CD and copy the files form the harddrive onto t USB device

I dont know how to remove the lock, someone else may well reply

The 'private' setting is in the <foldername>/properties/security tab. The problem is, you have Home edition. And in Home edition, the security tab is visible only in Safe Mode, and you're saying it bluescreens.
