Hi I recently used non-destructive recovery on my pc, i had to recover
with
no profile command. Windows has recovered and my files are now in
C:\documents and Settings\ user name *Janet* also C:\Program
Files\Application Name.
I have been advised to use System Variables to change path. and add
commandC:\documents and Settings\ user name *Janet* also C:\Program
Files\Application Name. Does this mean to add every program name. Also do
I
need to install all programs and drivers that are installed by myself on
the
pc.

I'm wondering if you can perhaps rephrase some of this, and I have a couple
of questions.

1) As I understand it, you reinstalled, and your user folder is now named
"Janet". Is this different from before?

2) Are your documents etc in another folder structure?

3) Are you experiencing a problem with path names, where you're getting "not
found" messages?

I am not sure why you would have to make these additions to the path
manually. Can you provide more information as to why you were given this
advice?

My new user is different from the one I used before, when I open up the computer a message comes stating that I can find my files in C:\ documents and Settings (user name) and C:\Program Files (Application Name) so I go to Start-Run- Type in documents and Settings\Janet, a window opens showing a list of my documents and all the program files. How do I transfer these back to windows. At the moment the new My documents is empty. I tried to use Power Suite 2009 to recover windows xp originally this didn't help and I then did the recovery so I e-mailed them with the same question and they replied as follows:( you should add the path in the end of Path. Right click my computer-->choose properties-->click Advanced-->click Environment Variables, choose "path" in System variables, click edit, add "C:/documents and Settings/user name;C:/Program Files/Application name" in the end. then restart your computer.)
