How do I restore an XP user account?
Hi, I've recently had to run the recovery console on my PC, which created a new windows XP profile. It kept the same username (and even profile picture) but not installed programs or files. I found the files in the "document & settings" folder on the C: but in another profile folder. The installed programs in the program files folder in my C:. Is there a way that I can switch back to this profile? I've tried switching profiles when logging off, but I am not given the option and in "User accounts" in the control panel there is only 1 account present. I've attempted to recover the old account usinghttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/555473/en-usin safe mode and logged in as the administrator, but the account I'm looking to restore isn't in the list of accounts. Has anyone got any ideas? 1 person needs an answerI do too
