If you have the files but are unable to access them, you should try to take ownership of the folder/files. Not sure about Media center, but in Pro, you go to the folder's properties (right click on folder and select properties), go to Security tab, go advanced. Here, there is option to change owner.

Note that you need to log in with admin priviledges to do this.

Now i have another problem....

I have 3 user accounts(Administrator, XXX, YYY), this 3 have administrative privilege and it is password protected. Now when i start my computer it automatically enters into administrator account without asking for password...

I want sollution for following problems :

1. I want all the users to enter the password and then to enter into a profile..

2. I wanna make XXX or YYY to be the default user name in the login field...

3. Is there any other ways that the users can enter without knowing the password??? If so What to do to prevent this???

Thanks in Advance.....

1. Use "User Accounts 2" in control panel to set "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
2. No clue
3. Disable Guest account.
