If System Restore does not work, in that Administrator logon go to Control Panel and create a new user account that will replace the damaged one.
Now open My Computer windows on the two user's profile folders, and copy
across the folders inside, from the old into the new One now you can remove the old one and its files.

hi, when I booted my XP Pro system, my user profile (admin) was corrupt and all my user settings were lost. Then I found that my documents were gone too. The files do not appear anywhere on my hard drive. no docs & settings folder has them. btw, no viruses found on my pc.
When I use a undelete file utility, I can see the files at c:/documents & settings/temp, but windows explorer does not see this folder. Nor does explorer see any *.doc, *.xls, *.jpg, or any other file that I had saved in "My Documents"
The file resoration free ware that I downloaded (to usb drive) does recover some files that have not been written over. However, I have multi GB of data that's on my HD that I cannot access with windows. Any suggestions please?
Help!
