I have had the situation that my user account apparently was corrupted in
Windows XP home edition.
Once I start up user XYZ all reference to the original user now point to a
user: TEMP.

It means I have lost a fair bit of setting in the TEMP user, but the
original user XYZ still exist under the original name.

How can I re-instate the original user. I'm not that it will help that
copying all the data from original user are a safe method.

How do I go about this ?
 
Below are some links on how to recover and/or remove what's not needed.
