Re: Corrupt Profile after Power Failure

After you save all your data somewhere else, you can delete all the profiles on the machine and start over. You tried to make a new profile using the same name as one of the old ones.

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.

Thanks,
AL
