I am currently working to gain access to files that were locked away with a computer crash and reinstalled operating system. My computer now views those as belonging to another user on the computer and won't let me enter the password to get into it. My "favorites" file is locked away in there as well, with many of my usual computer techie sites.

I just visited BleepingComputer.com and find that it has gone from a great place for precise answers to another forum where new users just log on and ask their question without searching. This ends up with no "critical mass" of questions and discussion on a useful thread. It also means that regular users don't bother to answer each new question because they've already answered it (probably several times).

What computer tech sites are Mudcatters using these days to search tech questions? I'll visit Microsoft's Knowledge base, but I often times find some of these sites can cut through to the heart of the issue.
