Hi everyone,
This weekend, at work, we switched servers. So that I wouldn't lose my
personal set-up (e.g Desktop icons, favourites, etc) I did the following:
1) I copied all folders/files from C:\Documents and settings\my_user_name
onto my puters C: drive
(this contains folders that control my Desktop icons, favourites, Start Menu
icons, etc)
2) I logged on to the new server with my new profile
3) I replaced the folders/files in C:\Documents and settings\my_user_name
for my new profile, with those I saved previously.
This half-worked. I restored my old Desktop icons, Start Menu icons and so
on...**BUT** some things that didn't work out:
1) I lost additional Desktop toolbars I set-up
2) all my applications (e.g. Outlook, Word) lost all my settings - they were
set up as if I'd never used these applications before
Is there anything I can do to restore everything back to how it was?
Where are the settings for things like Outlook kept?
Any help very much appreciated,
Stuart
