In news:0A3AEB75-3D62-458A-B427-E4E0BC17C826@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Mike Bak <MikeBak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I have had the situation that my user account apparently was corrupted in
Windows XP home edition.
Once I start up user XYZ all reference to the original user now point to a
user: TEMP.

It means I have lost a fair bit of setting in the TEMP user, but the
original user XYZ still exist under the original name.

How can I re-instate the original user. I'm not that it will help that
copying all the data from original user are a safe method.

How do I go about this ?
