I'll try and keep it simple. I have a user named mgreen. under C:\doc set\mgreen. At some point in the past, that profile crashed (dont know how) and windows created a new profile mgreen.Pace (which is our domain name). the mgreen.Pace profile works fine, but i really need to get back into the mgreen profile, because certain files were encrypted under the mgreen profile, and windows will not let the mgreen.Pace profile access them, because i am assuming that a different SID has been given to the new account. I looked under C:\doc set\mgreen\ but i dont see a NTuser.dat file...Am i screwed, or is there any way to log back into the original mgreen profile? Thanks for reading!! Mike ----

You can't log into it, but if you log into the computer as a user with Admin privileges, you can copy the data from the old profile to the new. In the future, keep your "My Documents" somewhere other than within the profile itself. Either on a network drive or locally on a separate partition from the OS will work too.
