Corrupt login profile

[KING COFFEE]

Hi Win2000 user,

I enabled the Guest account on my Win2000 system. Then I switched to the
Guest login. When I tried to switch back to my user account... the system
said that my login profile was corrupt and it gave me a temporary profile.

Can you please tell me how I can re-establish my login profile settings ??

Thanks very much,

King

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.

Where are the user profiles stored and is there a utility to manipulate the
file's contents.

Thanks,

User profiles are stored in the 'Documents and Settings' folder. You can use
Windows Explorer to do the file copy.
