I have just reinstalled xp, I have restored my old
settings. They show up in windows explorer, but my old
user name and settings do not show up when I reboot.
How do I use these old profiles?
 
If you did not restore a full backup with system state
from the old system on top of the new, then you do
not get the old accounts.
You will need to copy from the old profiles into new
accounts whatever you want of the old account.
Much of this can be done by drag and drop between
the profiles' folders within Documents and Settings,
for such as .\Start Menu, .\Favorites, .\Desktap
If you want the look and feel settings, this needs to
be done by copying the profile using that capability
in the System Properties while logged in with a third
account that is an admin.
