Re: Corrupt Profile after Power Failure

After a power failure my desktop computer ended up with a corrut
profile. I have searched endlessly on how to fix a corrupt
profile, but I now know I will have to live with a new user profile
and with old profile files copied to new profile.

However.... I have noticed that after creating a new profile that
all my profiles now have an extension. My profiles used to just be
my username, but now any profile i create has the format of
username.computername (i.e. Johnny.home) and not just username
(i.e. Johnny).

Is there anyway to fix this so my profile names are do not have a
.computername after them????

I am using Windows XP SP2, and this computer is not on a domain.
This is just a single computer I have in my home.

My recommendation - don't be concerned over what the actually directory is.
It doesn't matter that much. You should not have to type it in/see it ever.
If you do need to get to it in a script or something - the better way is to
use the environment variables...

%USERPROFILE% would be the one for the currently logged on user.

Start button --> RUN --> type in:
cmd /k echo %USERPROFILE%
--> click OK.
cmd /k echo %USERPROFILE%
