Accidently deleted my user account

I was messing around with network settings and saw I had two profiles for my name even though only one was showing up in the login screen. I assumed the one that was checked off for my connection was the one I was using so I deleted the other one through the connection allowance screen. Well that turned out to be my profile and when I logged off and logged back on I had to log on as administrator and create a new account. I transported most of my files over from my old account but there are still some folders I cannot access because they say access denied. Since the user account is deleted I can't get into it and set these permissions. Is there any way I can get these files back and move them to my new account?

The MS KB article, How to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows XP explains the process.
