Don't worry too much about the !Removed!, mate.

Just open up a search engine and type something in. Anything will do here. Badgers, TV Repair tips, cardboard wholesalers etc. There's sure to be a link to some !Removed! found in the results.

right click on the files then check security settings. go into advanced and change all owners etc to your current user, proving its an admin type account. then del the old user from these settings.

basically u've just xfered over ownership of these files to the account u have now.

i'm assuming ur using winXP here...

nt/2k should be quite similar as its based on the same security architecture.
