    Profile reset?
    SOLVED

    I can't figure this out. One of my friends were on my computer a few days ago, when he finished, he shut it down. When I started it up, my proflile was... reset. For example, My active Desktop displays the screen it showed when I first installed Windows 2000 on it. My Mozilla Firefox settings were all reset. Everything I had was reset, except all the other profiles work fine, and everything that was installed is still there. When I go into my documents and settings, and view my desktop there, Everything I had before is shown. It is the same way in safe mode. I even tried repairing it with the windows repair CD. If you have any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Oh yes, and I know I don't have any spyware/malware/viruses because I scanned with Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, Spyware Doctor, Webroot Anti-Spy, Acronis Privacy Suite, and Zone-Alarm Anti-Spyware, and Anti-virus.something went wrong with windows login, and it created another profile over my old one, but I could still get to my old profile and it's settings via C:\My Documents and Settings, so I just copied all the settings from the old profile to the new one, and it was fixed lol.

    If windows can not read you profile it will automatically create you another temp one so you can login. Normally you can tell be looking in the documents and settings folder and seeing extra folders created their called e.g user.000 or user~xxx
