accessing administrator emails/files

Posted: 10-20-2007, 05:28 AM
Hi,
I have Vista Home Premium and was using the Administrator account for
emails, internet and files. I have added a standard user for internet/email
use to make the computer safer from problems. I am completely new to Vista,
and have no idea how to access received emails/contacts, favourites and files
that are on the Administrator account when I am using the standard user.

I had a problem with the computer and it had to be rebooted back to original
condition. The computer repair guy saved emails and files in a folder which
are on the administrator user account. How do I access them? I don't want to
use the administrator account as my regulator account.

Also, how do I copy email messages, settings and contacts from Outlook
Express on XP to Windows Mail on Vista? I have stuff on another computer that
I need to copy to my computer, but don't know how to do it. I only want my
files etc, not all the files on the computer.

Thanks
TB
