340488 2005-04-02 00:56:00 Im using win 2000 on one of my computers. I accidently deleted the user wich had all my stuff in it. The stuff is still in the HD and when i search for the stuff i want i can get them. I was wondering if there was a way that i could bring back that user with everything in it. Iv tried making a new user with the same name but its not working. Cstchie (7385)
340489 2005-04-02 04:37:00 Tricky ... :(

I suppose you are able to access the data from the Administrator account. I'd try making the directories shared, then from the new user account (with a different name for maximum safety) copying the files into its space. ("My Documents"?).

But I know nothing. :)

340490 2005-04-02 17:45:00 Its not only the files i want its a bunch of configurations. I dont know how to make the internet work again on the new account. It wont connect to the internet or to my network. I cant reinstall the netowork moniter (the one that came with the wireless card) either because the program wont uninstall. Its so frusterating because i know all my stuff is still there but i cant get to it. Cstchie (7385)
340491 2005-04-03 03:16:00 Where are all the W2K experts? :( There's a directory which holds settings ... one tree for Administrator and another for all other users. But I don't know off hand how it's organised. Graham L (2)
340492 2005-04-03 03:25:00 I am admin already. And the other profile has been deleted. But the stuff that was in it still shows up under the old user when i search for it. Cstchie (7385)
