From: Luvsmel on
OK I had a massive crash after using an update driver utility to update all
the drivers on my system. I opted to not back the system up before doing so,
confidently feeling that I knew what I was doing and not to worry. Story of
my life. Needless to say however, not everything was a complete loss. Upon
reboot and after the new driver installation, my only login options were to
log in under Administrator. My original named account "YOU" was gone! There
wasn't an option to select it since it wasn't there .... it was missing from
the login window. So I logged in under Administrator (my only choice) and
went to C drive, and there sitting in my Documents and Settings Folder and
having a good chuckle was my "YOU" account. I audited the settings so that I
could gain access to the folder and all my pictures, videos, documents, etc
were still there. But the biggest concern I have with this whole scenario is
that I've lost all my desktop, OE mail, programs and a host of other
settings that I had with the original account. My question is: Is there any
way to restore my login back to the original "YOU" account? And also....why
did my login account disappear ( I mean, I know why but what physically
happened??) and can I restore it?? I tried copying the administrator account
and renaming it to "YOU" but it said it was disabled and wouldn't allow me
access.
The transfer wizard only works with stored settings that I don't have.
Are there any other options? TIA
