ORIGINAL USER ACCOUNT DELETED

[Guest]

My wife created a new user account different from the original account she
hadseveral years ago. In deleting the extra account it was determined that
she deleted her original and not the new account. She stated the files were
transfered to my user account. I can see theuser data files in my files. Is
there any way to restore her user account and transfer her files back?

,When you reboot the PC in the early stages hit the F8 key, this will take
you to a black screen with white characters. Select 'Safe Mode' the PC will
then start up in safe mode and take you to the welcome screen (albeit
graphically poor) the original user account/s should show. Select the one you
require and it will open up as if you were in normal mode. Locate the file/s
via Windows Explorer and copy them into the 'Shared Documents' folder (this
takes time because in safe mode the PC is a lot slower). Once complete,
reboot the PC as you would normally and open up your user account, go into
windows explorer, locate the shared docs folder and you should be able to see
the files.
