Hello
After a "non destructive" systemrecovery my userprofile is no longer
accessible. Windows has
create a new user profile like myusername.000.
I want to know if there is a possibility to change the used profile from
myusername.000 to the original userprofile.
Thanks for help
Mathias
Keep the new user profile. You do not say why you did a recovery but it's
possible there are problems within the old user account that helped to
percipitate the need for running recovery.
If the folder name for the new account bothers you, renaming won't help as
that only changes the "friendly" name shown for that user. The underlying
folder will keep the original name. Instead, create a new account. Log onto
it to create its folders in Documents and Settings. The folder name and log
on name for the user account will now match.
Grab the files and shortcuts that you need out of the old account and move
them to the new. If you run into any permission problems when moving and
copying those files (XP doesn't know the old you is the new you as well),
take ownership of the folders and files.
