Recovering Offline files

[Guest]

Apologies for the empty 1st post!

I have a user who set up offline folders a while ago. Soon after his network
folders were deleted, but he never resynced his files and kept working on his
local copy of his offline files. Whilst working away from the office, his
Active Directory account was deleted ( someone thought he had left the
company ). On arrival at the office he found he couldn't log on. I.T.
recreated
his AD account, he logged on to a completely new profile. No sign of the
offline
files. He was asked to move the contents of his old account "documents and
settings" to his new account ( He couldn't copy them, the HDD was full ). He
can now see the offline files ( links ), but cannot open them.

Is there any chance of a recovery, If so, how?

First it's IT's responsibility for fixing the Active Directory mess and
deleting his files. They (IT) should do two things to get the user up and
running ASAP.
1) They should install a second drive on his PC, they are cheap these days
and the loss in productivity will cost far more then the cost of a new
drive.
2) They should burn a CD/DVD of his files and copy them back to his PC's new
drive.

It also would not hurt if the user perform a disk cleanup on his current
hard drive.
