I have a laptop that I use for work. The company that issued the laptop to me is bankrupt, so there is no hope of support from IT. I foolishly changed it from domain to workgroup without understanding the problems that would cause. I solved the lockout issue yesterday with help from this forum, but now I still have another couple problems. 1. I can't access my Outlook Express Identity, so all my e-mail and addresses are not accessible to me. 2. If I create a local user other than Administrator, I can't open any of my office documents. What I want to do is copy my old domain profile to a local profile. Is that possible? If not, I can live with staying logged in as administrator. But, is there at least a way to recover my outlook express identity, or messages, or addressbooks? Thanks in advance.

Doug, Take a look at the two following MSKB articles and see if they might help at all. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;242067 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;255095 Ron

Well, its been a stressful weekend, but all is well. And there is a first time for everything--a targetted ad at this site just happened to offer a free program that easily and painlessly did exactly what I needed. http://www.forensit.com/

Doug, It looks interesting. Got it downloaded and will give it a try at work tomorrow. Thanks, Ron
