Guest evestigatus Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 I had a corrupt OS and had to restore my Windows XP. When I rebooted it came back to a default user name. I can still access all of the files for all of the previous users but I can't figure out how to restore our old user names and get all of the settings back. When I try, it creates a new user name with a .PC extension. This is especially troubling with MS Outlook because I don't know how to get to all of our old email, calendar, task, and address book data. Anyone out there know what to do to get this back to the way it used to be?
