Hi, my profile name on this computer is "Luke Beaumont", I put in my password as usual, but all the icons are gone off the desktop, wallpaper has gone back to the one it came with and the taskbar is how it used to be with no quicklanch. When I go to the My Music folder, it has the address of "C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\My Documents\My Music". It says TEMP when it should say Luke Beaumont. Anyway of making it go back to the way it used to be?

unless the profile can be found, not really. It sounds like it got deleted. do you have a restore point for system restore to try? also, you havent made changes to user accounts have you, changing the way users log on/off?

Just courious, is your music still in there, also the rest of your stuff you use to keep in My Documents?

Sounds like the system had locked your previous login.....you can try and fix this by. Logging in with another account (ADMIN) goto the following registry key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. Under here you will find some long numbers these are known as the Users SID, if there are a lot of people logged onto the machine there will be a long list in here.(Hopefully not). Click on 1 of them and check the details in the right hand pane and it should give you a profilePath. Not sure if your profile is kept in the c:\winnt\profiles directory, or the c:\documents and settings directory. Check these first before changing the registry key what you may find is that your profile may have a .BAK extension, if so rename the folder and remove the .BAK extension. then go back to the registry and change the temp path to the correct path, then logout and back in as your user account, all should be back to normal. hope this helps... -------------- Registry changing is done at own risk --------------
