Recover Deleted User Account
Mar 21, 2009Last night I noticed an icon (GetIE* now!) which would allow me to upgrade to Internet Explorer8 (so that I could supposedly experience better/ faster service when emailing etc.) However, after attempting to download, I rec'd an error mess'g contained inside of a box, indicating that the download attempt had failed & that I should access troubleshooting instructions from my computer. Basically one of the suggestions which was provided, indicated that I reset the computer to its "default" settings (and a link was even provided for me to click on, so that this process could be done AUTOMATICALLY).
However, even after trying the suggestion and reattempting to download Internet Explorer 8, I was still unsuccessful (I rec'd the same original error mess'g). So I gave up (because I din't have the patience anymore to try to figure it out) and figured that because the download never went through, everything with my computer was still the same. However, I rec'd a major shock this morning, when my 12 yr old son (who is the only other user on my computer), tried to log on...
basically, he immediately discovered after turning on the computer, that his user account, had suddenly become non-existant (only MY picture & username was visible. normally, HIS would appear adjacent to mine). My son ofcourse was in hysterics because now all of his photos, videos, etc. are all gone (and I feel so terrible about it). Is there ANY way that I can recover his deleted account? (P.S. I'm the administrator by the way)

Jun 29, 2009I deleted the user account, then realized that the files were not sent to the recycle bin. I also can see the hidden file, its size, and the name of the file but the warning states it cannot be opened because the path has been changed or altered. I still see that the user has many files, and I do not seem to have gained any disk space...is it still possible to get these back.
I know when police agencies are searching for files on the computer they have software that recovers a lot of evidence...is there any out there that I can use?
Recover Deleted IE History
Jan 2, 2009I need to recover deleted IE history and have scoured all different sources for recovery and im starting to doubt whether or not it is possible.
What I know wont work:
System Restore- The history was deleted between restore points, and the restore points on either side of it being deleted dont have the relevant history
What I've tried:
Index.dat readers. This is what I'm confused about, everywhere I go say this file holds all IE history unless its been altered, but from everything I've actually tried it seems all the index files I can find just hold information I can pretty readily access already.
So I'm willing to try any suggestions, and also if anyone has a little more info on index.dat that would change what I've found out myself.

Mar 23, 2008I use a admin account on my computer but when I added standard user account it will not open some web pages for example when I go to my yahoo mail it will show the email but when I click on it, it will not show any text, but when I use the administrator account the web page works fine, I can see and read all emails. Another example is when I go to ask.com and search under the standard user it comes up as a blank page but will show search results under the administrator account.

View 5 Replies View RelatedDeleted User Name And Lost All The Emails
Apr 7, 2009Vista Home Premium, began getting message that c:users(user name)AppDataRoaming is corrupt and unreadable. Used Dell online technical support. They copied all the files under the username to a backup location, created a new username, and then copied the files back in. Basically copied the directory C:users(user name) to C:users(user name2). Then deleted the user name that wasn't working in the control panel. Looks great except all my wife's emails are now gone - and she had multiple folders with emails stored in them and thousands of deleted emails she referred to. Mad as a hornet!
Is there any way of recovering the deleted email files and then getting them back into Mail? I am trying Pareto Logic Data Recovery Program to search for the directory that was deleted that stores the emails C:users(user name)AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows MailLocal Folders. So far it is only finding folders with (user name2).I realize now I should have exported all the mail to a backup file before deleting the username, but the tech guy didn't tell me to do that before we deleted the old user name.
Deleted Undesired Account No Longer Display
Dec 14, 2008Friend of mine helped me with my Vista install, everything went well but now my user account is Bob rather than what I wanted. I changed the profile name but the user account (c:/Bob/<desired name>) is still listed as Bob. I did a bunch of research online and it appears the easiest thing to do is just create a new Admin Account and then remove the old one. Just need to copy any specific data I want to keep from that other user. Simple enough... mmmm not true! When I deleted the undesired account, it no longer displays in the manage accounts section but when I right click on the start (windows flag icon in lower left corner of desktop), select explore all users, expand the users folder (c:/users), I have several user folders listed and the ones I thought I had deleted. When I try to delete one of the undesired folders it starts to delete the files (sending them to the recycle bin, but then stops and states "The action can't be completed because the folder is open in another program, close the folder and try again.
This is extremely frustrating.. how can it be this difficult. I want to delete the old account along with all of its data. Now I have 3 accounts that I want deleted all with about 23 MB worth of data just sitting there - empty folders and files.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAll Files Gone From My User Account!!!
Mar 5, 2009All of the folders on my
user account are gone and Vista reverted everything like my account was
just created. I lost all of my files and everything else I have had. Its
all been deleted!
It started this morning when I logged in and everything off of my
desktop was gone. All of the files and everything. I don't know what
happened, I didn't delete the account or make a new one or anything.
All I know is that my brother, he was stupidly going through my
files from his user account (through Computer/Users), since he was made an admin, and he was deleting some files off of my user account. I'm not sure what it was but it must have been something he deleted that messed up everything! I still see some of the items in my garbage can of stuff that might have been deleted by the moron. The
other user accounts are fine, its just mine that is missing everything
and acting like its a brand new account.
I don't know what he deleted but I know he didn't do a complete wipeout of my account.I
still have a feeling that my files are somewhere because the hard drive
is still the same size.

View 7 Replies View RelatedCreate A New User Account, Nothing Happens?
Nov 6, 2008My Office suite has had a bit of a fit, and the fix I've found involves creating a new user account, then exporting that account's registry. The kicker is that when I create a new user account, nothing happens. The profile shows up, as does the picture, but no directory is created in the Users folder, nor in the registry.
So, it shows up, but doesn't actually exist, and when I try and sign on to this new account, it says "The user profile service failed the log in. The user account can not be loaded." why this is happening and how to fix it?

But when I restart the computer I get a notice that the name is not the correct one. I change the user, but I end up having to click on my name which is still there, and entering my password. Then I see two of each of our icons. I can then click on another person. I went into the system and checked and it shows only the other two people as administrators and does not show my name.

Mar 23, 2008I noticed a Standard user named "dlbj_IAM" in my Parental Controls and I didn't create this account. I have a stand alone Vista Premium computer with wireless connectivity. The account doesn't show up in "User Accounts" or when I check the users folder creation in explorer to determine when it was created - there are no folders created for this user. I would like to determine when this account was created and if there has been any wireless activity before deleting this account.
I set parental controls to high and put every restriction I could find on this account. I have gone to Admin Tools, Computer Management in hopes to look in Local Users and Groups but it doesn't exist. Is this something different about Vista Premium?

Jul 4, 2008I cannot solve an issue with trying to access a Windows XP shared printer from a Vista Ultimate PC. I have read several articles on this on the web and tried a lot of the suggestions, but I am still not getting anywhere with this. My User accounts cannot print from Vista to the shared XP printer. The printer status shows Error - Printing. I have opened up the security permissions on the printer share to include Everyone, Guests, Users, Anonymous Users with full access, and I still get this error. My Administrator account does not have any problems printing from Vista.
Both computers are on the same workgroup. Both computers have identical user accounts with identical passwords and permission sets. The printer is an HP C4100. I checked with HP and I have the latest print driver. I have tried adding the shared printer using both local and shared printer settings, but still no luck. Both computers have all of the latest service packs and updates. I am at my wits end trying to fix this.
Corrupted User Account
Aug 2, 2009I tried to install postgresql-8.4.0. I didn't turn off User Account Control before doing that, which seems to be recommended. I think Postgres tried to create a user account called 'postgres', but it failed (I suspect because of UAC). Postgres installation could not finish normally. When I look in the Control PanelUser Accounts, no 'postgres' user is visible. When I try to create a new user called 'postgres' however, I get the following error message:
Quote: The specified account name is not valid, because account names cannot contain the following characters: /[]":'|< >+=,?* Please type a different name. It looks like I'm stuck with a corrupted 'postgres' user. Is there a way to clean this up?
