My boss just gave me her old computer which is running Windows XP
Professional. She had never credted a User Profile so when you logged on it
was just Administrator (the default I guess??). She wanted me to save her
stuff in case she needed it later so I created a seperate profile called
Lolo. I was able to switch between her user profile and my own.
That evening I shut down the computer and left. She turned on the computer
and was apparently asked a questiosn (which she did not read) and answered
yes. Since then everything that was under her profile is gone!
All her old emails in Outlook are gone and when we accesses them directly
anything that had been downloaded to her outlook was lost.
Is there anyway to get that info back, or did she unknowinglyoverwrite her
profilewith my new one and lose the data?
Pleaseofferany advice you have as I may lose my head if I can't fix this...
quick!

Have you tried doing a System Restore to a point prior to her answering
the question? (Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-System Restore)
