Default Please help!!! How do I restore a user?


I accidently deleted a user. How do I restore it?

The files are still there. If I create a user with the same name I justed
deleted, I get a new folder and a new users name under /documents and
settings.

I'm running windows 2000. How do I re-create the user I just deleted? Thanks
a lot!

Depends on what you want to do. When you create a user, it creates an ID for that user - security for windows 2000 is based on the ID for the user and not the users name. The problem you may come up with is when you create the user again, it will generate a new ID instead of using the old one, so any permissions the user had will need to be redone (including exchange)
