Funny Messages getting displayed on screen

Funny windows message anyone?

This is supposed to replace the user but retain files of previous user and make those files accessible by the new user.

Now what happens is that those files are now inaccessible to the new user.

How do we take those files and make it ours?

Hi,

In windows this can be done by making the existing user Copy the files to a common folder first example C:import, then create a new user then copy the files located in the c:import folder.

Do not copy directly from the existing user folders as you will get an access denied or the funny error above, this is used by windows as a security measure although very outdated.

I hope this helps.
