logging back into windows after deleting account, by accident

[Guest]

i'm using windows home edition, and i'm the computer administrator on my
computer. I accidentally deleted my username while setting up who my network
settings on my laptop. now when i turn on my desktop, it will only let me
sign in as Guest, and i have limited access to everything. How can i recreate
my account on that computer? Can I do it from my laptop, since they are both
a small network that i just created? if someone could help me out, i'd
greatly appreciate it. All of my school files are on that computer!

Boot to Safe Mode ( tap F8 during boot ) and log on as Administrator.
Create new User Profile for yourself.

Hi,

Did you hide your username or delete your profile? Which measures of either
falls into play while setting up a network?

In the meantime, see if this helps/applies:

Logon to another account with admin privilege and run System Restore.
Choose the most recent restore point and SR should restore the user
hives.

Or...

Boot into safe mode and log in as Administrator. Copy ntuser.dat from
%windir%\repair to "Documents and Settings\[your user id]". Now do a system
restore to a point in time prior to when the corruption message began to
appear.

Or...

Relocate NTUserdat

Look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and find the profile you want to change and
then change ProfileImagePath to the ntuser.dat folder that you want to use.
You must manually copy or move the ntuser.dat file there.
