Due to making things a bit neater on my computer I somehow managed to delete
my Default user. With the help of someone here (to solve my Update problem)
we recreated the Default user and my Update problem went away.

How can I recreate all the 11, I believe, folders under Default? Does
simply copying and pasting the folders from Guest, for example, fill this
void? Is there anything 'special' per se in recreating these folders?
 
If you don't have a default user you can not log in as a new user as there
is nothing to copy over to make the new users account.

To the OP I have in the past on a Windows 2000 computer deleted the defualt
user by mistake. I went to a second computer of the same make and model and
copied the default user folder to a flash drive and copied it back to the
first computer and all worked fine.

You may not be as lucky as I am to have a second computer that is the same
and I do not know if one from just another Vista computer would work but it
would be worth a shot.
