Rename Your Old User Folder

Quote:Originally Posted by TheOutcaste Welcome to TSG!When you did the recovery, it apparently didn't rename your old User Folder (HP Administrator in this case). So when Windows was being re-installed, as a folder named HP Administrator already existed, it created a new one named HP Administrator.ComputerName.Just move the stuff you want from the old HP Administrator folder to the new HP Administrator.ComputerName folder. Mostly just move stuff from My Documents (may be called HP Administrators Documents), Favorites (Internet Explorer), Desktop (files that were on the old Desktop, best not to move shortcuts though).If you use Firefox, your old profile and bookmarks will be here:C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorApplication DataMozillaFirefoxProfiles andomname.default
The profile under Administrator.ComputerName will have a different randomname.default folder, so you can't just copy the folder. You can copy the contents of this folder to your new profile folder, overwriting the current profile,
