About 4 days ago my PC shut down during the day. When it was rebooted we
logged on as administrator, as always, but it was like logging on to a total
new screen. I did not have any of my documents, my sons i tunes, and when we
went in to word, excel etc. it said "welcome to" like it was the first time
we used it. I can find the documents etc. in my computer but when when we
start it is not the same screen as we have had before. It is like a
different user. I hope my description is clear enough for someone to help.
 
Re: Start up

Sounds like the profile is corrupt. You can use the steps in this article to
replace the local administrator profile.

User Profile May Become Corrupted After You Perform a Clean Windows 2000

You can copy over the items you need from the orphaned profile. Copy the
folder contents not the folders themselves. Use the import function of your
e-mail software (import the *.pst)

Re: Start up

The date/time stamp on %userprofile%\ntuser.dat should indicate the one you
we're most recently using.
