Topic sums up the problem, this is what I've got:

I had loads of router problems (seems to be solved now), and during the process my Windows just got stuck, sound looping on like one millisecond from the song that I was playing or whatever sound was playing. I rebooted Windows, and behold! A new account was made, but my old one was inaccessable. I can't open the folder in C:\Documents and Settings, can't delete the folder, can't browse it's contents, nada! And I'd really love to have my account back. Anyone had this problem before and know how to solve it?

MTIA, Boogymanx.

Restart to safe mode, login as admin, open the folder (you might have to change permissions, right click on the folder and click properties)
That way you have access. Copy everything out, delete the folder. Restart and go on your merry way.
