No. The new user account that you create will have a different SID and it will not use the same profile folder. You can create a new user account and modify the ProfileImagePath at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\<New-SID-Number>
and have the new user use the old users profile folder.
See here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324734 the same applies to Windows XP.

hello... I was playing around with domain and workgroup settings, and when I removed myself from the domain, I notice that it also deleted my user account that I use to log in. Luckily, I notice that my profile under C:\Documents and settings was not deleted, so I have access to my documents and emails.. but my question is if I re-create a user with the same name as before, will it recognize what was already stored in C:\Documents and settings\<username>? Or will it overwrite the old data?
