If there is only one user, aren't they the only administrator with full rights? I think that's the case.

This time my administrator is under "Jay" and I wanted to get some of the files (My Documents) that were under "Jay Johengen." I restored that directory, but now XP won't let me do anything because it says I don't have rights. Can't look at it, deleted, move it, nada. I just want it gone at this point. Anyone? Thanks!
