Restoring Deleted User Profiles

[Elemental]

Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping there's still a chance to recover from this although all signs
point to "no way Jose" but hope springs eternal...

Here's what was done:

After creating a new User, the old User was deleted and here's how

Right clicked on "My Computer"
Clicked on the "Advance" tab
Then clicked on the "Settings" for the "User Profiles"
Selected the Old user name and deleted it.

Of course, all was deleted from the profile; I’ve tried the “restore to
previous date†in the hopes of… well you know, and nothing.

So, now to my question:
Is there anyway to restore the user’s data; pictures, documents, etc, via
the DOS prompt or are there any programs that can do this?


Any Help would be appreciated.



Peace
Elemental

Hey Folks,

Never mind, I should have searched before posting; I apologize.

Are your user folders still there? Where were you storing your files?
Were you using the default "C:\Documents and Settings\Your UserName"
folders? You can delete accounts without deleting the user files, you
have to look on your hard drive to see if the files are still there,
only you can do that, we don't know if the files were deleted or not
when the account was deleted. If the files were also deleted with the
account then you will have to use file recovery software to try to get
your files back.
