I rebooted and when I logged on my Admin/User Account was reset to its original version, XP even though I still have all my files on C: its just a pain to get to certain files when they were once readily available on the desktop or under the user profile. I tried many things, Computer Management to see if it was turned off, reboot in Safe mode to see if was there, System restore was turned off during that time, logged in to all the users to see if it might have moved to another account but no good...Need help restoring my Original User Account Proflie, any thoughts ??

It appears that you're running Windows XP. This is a Windows 7 forum. I would ask the experts in a Windows XP forum, e.g. here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/xprepair/threads.

Hello, MondozIf you have files located in C:\ and you want them on your desktop, select the files/folders then right click and select Cut. Now right click on a blank area of the desktop and select Paste. This will move all of those files to your desktop.DavidMicrosoft Answers Support EngineerVisit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
