I got my friends laptop…It kept restarting on start up and crap…Got rid of a few viruses etc it boots fine now…
But…Her user account it screwed up…its reading data from…
C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP
Not
C:\Documents and Settings\Cassandra
Like its supposed to be…is there an easy way to change this?
Im assuming there is some registry value for default search path for a users directorys?
Im sticking to UNIX this XP shit is lame
right click My Computer in the start menu, go to properties.
Advanced Tab -> Environmental Variables.
Is that what you’re looking for?
Nah
It lost a User name its kinda weird…
If you goto Advanced Tab and click Settings under account profiles it says Account Unknown…
What happens if you create a new user account. Could you just backup the settings, recreate the account, and restore the backed-up info?
Then lists two duplicate user profiles…that are slightly diffrent sizes and one is labeled as a backup…Hmmm
Im gonna try adding a user and copying all the contents of the one folder over to it and see what happens…Im sure it will fuck something up but oh well…
I figured there would be a user account variable that you can edit to pick the users directory path.
Straight from google in regards to killing the evil account once done:

well if either, this is easy to do, boot into safe mode, then log on as default admin, then open control panel-> admin tools->comp mng-> then goto -> local users and tools and delete the rouge user folder and it will be gone. keep in mind whatever user u delete form this area will completely remove it, so make sure u r deleting the proper 1.

I got it all figured out now…I was just hoping there was an easy way to change the settings…

Glad you got it all figured out
