Red face Windows XP logging on!

A minor difficulty I hope! I have been away on holiday and whilst I was away, a friend decided that my data would be secure from "guests" if users were able to log in using passwords. A log in name was duly created for each casual user plus myself and now user names appear as if by magic at startup and individual users are able to log in using a password. Sadly, the new name and password for me, only gives access to a sparse looking desktop and I cannot access my MS Word files or personalised IE or OE although I am confident that everything is still residing on C drive somewhere! I have logged into each user name and cannot find my files or crowded desktop so in desperation I am looking for divine guidance. I have been assured that only user names have been the subject of change. Prior to the "useful reorganisation" I just switched my computer on and it would then load everything and be ready for use without any need for for user name or password.

The immortal words come to mind "If it aint broke don't fix it!!"
