Lost user profile - Microsoft Windows
This is a discussion on Lost user profile - Microsoft Windows ; While reinstalling WinXP I lost one of my user profiles. (That in itself is a puzzle, why not all of my profiles?)
But the question is, is there any way to restore a profile?

Figures. Just when you need 'em most. Trust M$ software to do something
really, really dumb like wipe out your restore points when you do
something drastic, the very situation where you most want to have one to
roll back to if anything goes wrong. :P
