Solve : "Users" File Problem?

Answer» <html><body><p>Today, I took a look in my "Users" file (C:\Users). Usually, it would contain a folder for every user on the computer.

When I looked in the folder today, the file for my account (the only one on the system) was missing. There are three other folders in the file [Default (hidden), Mcx1 (Does anyone know what this is?), and Public]. I know for a fact that my user file is not hidden because I have configured Windows to show hidden files. I don't <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/think-661001" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THINK">THINK</a> this affects my computer at all because I still have all of my files and I can still access them all. Also, I should <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/add-361838" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ADD">ADD</a> that when I viewed the properties of a random Word document on my desktop, the target was "C:\Users\[user name]\..." which means the computer can still access the folder. It's not a big deal, I'd just like to know what happened. I have a Dell Inspiron 530 running Vista Home Premium (if that helps with anything). Thanks in advance.Have you ever had XBox set up on this computer?<br/>That's what the Mcx1 user is normally for.<br/><br/>Default (hidden) - in Vista and 7, real Administrator account is hidden by default.<br/><br/>Now, to check for users...<br/>Please download <a href="http://noahdfear.net/downloads/profiles.exe">Profiles</a> by noahdfear.<br/><br/> * Save it to your desktop.<br/> * Double-click <strong>profiles.exe</strong> and post its log when you reply.<br/><br/><br/>Yes, I have set up Xbox on this computer before.

I tried it twice with no success. I don't understand why it does that.Since you have that key backed up, you may want to try to change that value to "100" again and at the same type, change <strong>R e f C o u n t</strong> value from "3" to "1".<br/>If that won't help....I'm out of options The value of <strong>RefCount</strong> is 2, not 3.It's 3 in your log, but whatever it is, change it to "1".Both of them switched back to their previous <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/values-25920" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VALUES">VALUES</a>.
