Help retreive lost profiles (again)
 and didn't do a repair so I've lost all my profiles (5 family members). How can I get them back? I really don't want to reload every program, one at a time, on each profile. All the old profiles are still on the drive, just not available.Is there a fix? |

 That just looks to simple! I tried "select all" and copy but it failed probably because it included the 3 files. I will try this without the files mentioned in the artical tonight after work.Thanks again Dave |

there is this 1 detailing how to use the admin account to clone profiles to the other users, saving the install 5 times thing you want to avoid, you may have to use this if it only copies documents and settings over and not program files

GoNz0,
That will come in handy. I just hope I won't have to use it. By the way, using repair work great on my system 2. I sure wish I had waited on system 1

ViperSnake,
I don't know how that happened unless it has something to do with using the back button. GoNz0, I followed the instructions in your first message: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811151 and it worked in the most part. I still had to reload office etc. and inport my email account messages and address book. Also, after creating a new user account you need to log on to that account before it will create the C:\Documents and Settings\New_Username folder. I needed to log and off. Other than that it's as the instructions state. It was taking a long time until I deleted a temporay folder that had 12gb in it  I need to do house cleaning more often! I haven't tried the second one yet since I am still working on my main profile to copy from. Thanks for the advice, Dave |
