lost login
OK I had a massive crash after using an update driver utility to update all
the drivers on my system. I opted to not back the system up before doing so, confidently feeling that I knew what I was doing and not to worry. Story of my life. Needless to say however, not everything was a complete loss. Upon reboot and after the new driver installation, my only login options were to log in under Administrator. My original named account "YOU" was gone! There wasn't an option to select it since it wasn't there .... it was missing from the login window. So I logged in under Administrator (my only choice) and went to C drive, and there sitting in my Documents and Settings Folder and having a good chuckle was my "YOU" account. I audited the settings so that I could gain access to the folder and all my pictures, videos, documents, etc were still there. But the biggest concern I have with this whole scenario is that I've lost all my desktop, OE mail, programs and a host of other settings that I had with the original account. My question is: Is there any way to restore my login back to the original "YOU" account? And also....why did my login account disappear ( I mean, I know why but what physically happened??) and can I restore it?? I tried copying the administrator account and renaming it to "YOU" but it said it was disabled and wouldn't allow me access. The transfer wizard only works with stored settings that I don't have. Are there any other options?
