I have windows 2000 professional on my computer. I
rebooted one day and recieved a message saying that my
original profile wouldn't load as it may be corrupted. I
ran avast! and found infected files which I moved to the "
virus chest". Subsequent scans claim the system is now
virus free. I can't clean all the files that are in
the "chest", but I would like to access my original
profile. How can I do this? And how can I clean the
infected files?

1.) If the profile is corrupt, you can rename the profile(while logged on as
local admin), then when the user logs on again a new profile will be created
from the image in \default user. You can then copy over the items you need
from the renamed profile. Copy the folder contents not the folders
themselves. When your sure you have all you need, you can delete the renamed
profile(s). Use the import function of your e-mail software.

2.) Doubtful that you want any of those files.
