Try the following...

Rename the profile. For example...

C:\Documents and Settings\account_name
to
C:\Documents and Settings\account_name.bak

Relogon to that account and the profile will be recreated. In my example, logon as
'account_name'.

If this works, copy the subdirectories from
C:\Documents and Settings\account_name.bak
to the new
C:\Documents and Settings\account_name

If it doesn't work (using my example), delete the "C:\Documents and Settings\account_name"
profile and then rename the backup "account_name.bak" back to "account_name"
