Lost access to files and program after renaming Admin acco..

Please help!!!!

I recently renamed my Administrator account in XP. After doing so I
rebooted my computer and the system seemed to have created a new
profile for the new user account. As a result I can no longer access my
email using Outlook 2002, When I launch other programs it seems that I
have to reconfigure them. Does anyone out here know how I can go back
to the original configuration ? I need help

You simply need to take ownership of those folders and files from the
original administrator account.
You can then copy all of the profiles programs and settings to the new user
profile.

The following articles will guide you.

If you are using Windows XP Home version, you will need to perform the
taking ownership work in Safe Mode.

MVP Rick Rogers has a good explanation of the step by step process.

Here is the Microsoft reference for taking ownership.
