ok made a boo boo, been all day tryin to figure out how to get my admin
settings to copy to another set of settings and made a basic error and, i
created another admin 2 account which had basics so as i could close the main
one down and copy settings over to other user accounts. Yeh you guessed it i
chose the wrong one when i went to copy and now i have lost my settings on my
main account and only have basic settings on all accounts, royal pain but,
it's done no use cryin over spilt milk. So i have tried last known good,
well didn't think that would work as basically nowt wrong apart from lost my
settings. Also tried to system restore but nothing happened , am working now
on the idea that if i delete the 2nd admin account and try system restore it
may allow me to go backwards.
anyone know o a quick solution?
