I have a Toshiba laptop running XP home. It has three profiles. One of the accounts seems to be corrupt and most of my settings have been lost. Okay, I can live with that but now everytime I log on I resetup the desktop and when I reboot, everything is all erased again. Any help to fix this problem will be appreciated.

Thx,

VC

Hi videocheez

1. Create a new Windows User Account,
2. Login to the new User Account once, to create the necessary file structure,
3. Logoff from the newly created User Account
4. Login to a User Account that is not the New Account or the corrupted account.
5. Copy the corrupt User Account to the new User Account:
