reloading users

[David]

I recently had to reload windows 2000 pro. After reloading
I was not able to access any of the previously added user
info. ie favorites, desktop etc. Is there a way to reload
the user info without having to recreate the desktop,
favorites etc?

It sounds like you did not do a Repair Installation "over the top" of
the old one. Do you have two W2K installaions now? Do the old user
accounts/passwords work?

.

It reloaded on top of the old version. I was able to
transfer the profiles by renaming them to the new computer
name (which was actually the old name to begin with).
However, I am experiencing some registry problems ie
Microsoft office needed the key reinstalled etc I should
probably back up the registry more often.

Thanks for the help.
