is it possible to assign an existing home directory to a new user?
i've got the problem, that a user got lost while his home directory still
exists; now i would like to create a new user account, and assign the home
directory to it

Try this:
- Create the new user.
- Log on as the new user.
- Reboot the machine.
- Log on as administrator.
- Use xcopy.exe with the appropriate switches
to include hidden files, to copy the old profile
folder to the new profile folder.
- Ensure that the NTFS permissions of the new profile folder
are set correctly/
