Help!

[Joe]

When setting up Outlook, I used the default as
administrator. (So my son says) after 5 hours of entering
data, because i don't know how to do it any other way, my
son switches users on Office XP to set up his stuff. He
also set himself up as Administrator.

When I returned, ALL my data and set up had vanished. I
am told it is all still there, but can anyone tell me how
to retrieve it?

Umm this is not an Outlook query, its a windows XP query. The built-in
Administrator account is hidden by default when another is created.
In Home, boot in Safe Mode
On Pro, at the welcome screen press Ctl-Alt-Del twice.

BTW you should NOT use the built-in Administrator Account for day to day
use. Keep it for those times when you cannot access your login or something
else happens to the User account.
Create a User for yourself and give it Admin rights.
