I can't access my Limited Account via Admin - Help!

C:\Documents and Settings\limiteduser --> Access Denied

I originally had it as an Admin acct and made all files private. I'm pretty sure this is why I can't get in, even from an Admin account. Is there any way to reverse this?

yeah, i tried that site and when i go to 'unlock' the "limiteduser" account it only unlocks the top level folder. every child folder under it still says access denied -- Favorites, Desktop, My Documents,

You need to add the Administrators group back with full control and apply the changes to all subfolders and files. Do this at the user's root folder - Documents and Settings\user
