Guest Aly Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 RE: Disappearing "Documents and Settings" directory - HELP! HELP! HELP I can symphonise with the bashing of head against hard object as I have a near similar problem but due to other factor. On last “unscheduled Windows update” came just as I was switching down as the local power company was switching off power for maintenance. So halfway through “do not switch off Microsoft down loading” the power was cut and in mid update to. On login I was surprised to see a deactivated user account of mine in place of what was before switch off an administrator user login. Now on log in I found either can I create a new admin user as it states there is already one, but I have lost not just connection logins but also the files to connect them. Admin is still well and health on the HD but I cannot get admin back into login and this user deleted. I therefore have the same in a way problem as being not logged as Admin, those files, settings and even operational software are closed to me. Could be you have be rerouted as other user and in such locked out of original settings, does not cure yours or my problems but it’s an area you could look at. Hopefully by now your problem is solved as to mine I’ll cut my losses, buy 200 or so DVD’s (even another HD) backup original HD and start all over again. Good luck, we need it with Windows.
