go to control panel, user accounts and see if its there...u can change alot on the user there
Are you running XP? If so, my guess is when you created the new account, it hid the Administrator account you had been using. This account is normally hidden, but if you don't have any other accounts, it would probably be shown.
Your files will not have been lost. Look in C:\Documents and Settings. You should find the files there under the Administrator account.
If you are using XP, then once you set up a normal user account, the administrator account hides, and only becomes available when you are booting into maintenance mode. This is to make it hard for people to get access to that account.
Your file should be in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Administrator's Documents
Copy it to C:\Documents and Settings\<your new user name>\My Documents
