I deleted my user profile and when it asked me i checked the box to KEEP files in windows. I set up a new user profile and I don't know where to find the kept files are. It said that it would keep favorites and desktop files in windows how do i find them and put them in my new profile. c:\documents and settings\Quote from: prosportal on July 20, 2010, 11:00:07 AM

As usual MS doesn't make a short version...I'm guessing "barb" isn't a "he", but okay Quit followin me....
Didn't we already talk about this ? ?

I think you'll find the files will be put on the desktop of the user you were logged in as when you deleted the profile.Try Start -> SearchQuote from: oneit on July 22, 2010, 01:52:23 PM
