Hello there, i have a real problem...

I installed Vista on a little drive i had as a spare. Then i applied my big harddrive (where XP was on) and saw that i could no longer open programs (Messenger, skype etc.) I then deleted the Windows XP on my big drive, because i wanted to go for Vista. I then start deleting all the programs i have no use for anymore (because they could not open in Vista, after being installed on XP) and prepare to install them again on the same drive (Don't want Vista killing my Harddrive while i am gaming - hence the two drives.) Everything is deleted, exept the documents and settings folder. I have all my school stuff, pictures of girlfriend, savegames and other stuff in there, so there is no way i can just delete that.

I try to open the folder, security warning "What?"... Well i press a few keys and i get in. I open a subfolder, security warning... I realise that something is totally out of place. When i then try to open a picture it says i don't have permission to see the picture. WHAT!?! I freak a little but calm myself again.

I have tried everything and looked everywhere, but i don't think anyone has done something quite as stupid on the internet, so i have had no chance to help myself that way. So now i am looking for some people who are willing to help me here.

Please help me, i have no idea what to do and i need those folders open... I know it sounds weird, but what i could really use is some sort of permission remover or something ... Hope you know more than me.

EDIT: Okay! I copy pasted the files and they now work, but i am stuck with 2 of every file. How are they deleted?

In Vista try "Users", "Pictures", and "Documents" and see if those folders are there as Vista renames the folders.

Figured it out.
