Default lost profile

I just installed Quicken, and my profile seemed to disappear; email, mapped
drives, printers, IE favorites, etc. So I look under my Documents & Settings
folder, and now there is a profile named 'name' and a profile named
'name.domain'. What happened? Is there an easy way to fix it besides
carefully copying from one to the other? How do I know what I'm going to log
into next time?

I would try the System Restore tool: "How to Restore the Operating
System to a Previous State in Windows XP"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306084). Did you reinstall Windows
recently? This may happen during this procedure.
You can access the old profile: "How to Take Ownership of a File or
Folder in Windows XP" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308421).
