XP usually stores user information in 
c:\Documents and Settings\(your name here)

If you have a computer from Dell, Gateway, HP, Compaq, etc your
original account may have been "Owner" even if your name was displayed
on the logon screen.  In this case, all those files would be under
c:\Documents and Settings\Owner

If you made the same username as you used to use then XP appends the
computer name to the new user directory.  So if your old username was
Jack and your new username is Jack you most likely will have 2
folders:

c:\Documents and Settings\Jack.Computer
c:\Documents and Settings\Jack

You old files will be under: c:\Documents and Settings\Jack
