I'm using Windows XP and Norton Save & Restore. Recently one of my RAID 0 drives on my desktop PC went out, and fortunately I had just backed it up. While I was waiting for new drives for the desktop, I tried to restore some files in the backed up My Documents folder to my laptop. The problem is that the My Documents folder on the desktop is private--I believe it got that way because I use a password to log onto Windows. Therefore, when I tried to access the backed up My Documents folder using Explore Recovery Points in Norton Save & Restore, I get a message "...My Documents is not accessible. Access is denied."
This is troubling. Now that I have new drives in the desktop, I have successfully restored everything from the backup and I can access the My Documents folder since it's on the same computer. But if my computer got smoked (and the motherboard went out), and I had to restore My Documents to a different PC, I'd be locked out of the files.
Since I have the password used to lock the folder, is there a way from a different PC to get accessed to the locked folder?
