Ok, i'm heading off home again (been one long day at work)...
I'll try and log on when i get home to see your progress, but i think we're having people over, so i may not be able to until later...

If you don't get the error message when you log on with the new account...reboot into safe mode (hopefully for the last time ) and log on with the Administrator account again...browse to the Lynne folder, and move all your folders that you want to keep out of there, My Documents, etc etc - may take some time to go through the folders...but make sure you get everything you want...move them to C:\Old Profile (create a new folder if you need to) and then reboot into windows again.
Once in your newly created account, you should be able to get to Old Profile with all your photos and things

If the new profile didn't work...well I'll post something else afterwards

So far so GOOD! I'll move the stuff when I get up. 36 hours with no sleep yet again is getting rough on these old bones.

Hi, I backkkk. Bwaaaaa. Scared yah didn't I? So far I moved my favorites and some programs. One's got me stumped and I know PC people don't like it but I NEED it. Incredimail. I have the program but I can't figure out for the life of me how to get MY original info into this or move it to this user profile. Any suggestions? ow do I find the content of that Incredimail so I can move it? That !@#!@# shield is still here. I want to do horrible things to it.

Hehehe

You are correct..every time i see incredimail,i uninstall it...I believe it's classes as spyware (but I'm not too sure to be honest). I've never used it, but your best bet would be to see if it's in Application Data or Local Settings > Application Data

This is where most mail programs store your mail.

Hi, I also found out I have no place to access system restore or the defragmenter. What should I do about that?

The free version of Incrediamil has adware etc. I have Premium so no ads.

Oh ok

Log in as the Admin account and change your account to be an administrator
Very straight forward to do
