Here's what I do next. I log in and create a new account. Log into the new account (please don't question me, ask Microsoft!) and then read how to copy your files over using Microsoft's article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151

If you get an access denied message just google "XP TAKE OWNERSHIP".

I expect you to get your files back and ask Microsoft why they never issued a profile repair tool.

Finally, no. I don't know why this happens.

I appreciate your help! It worked as you well knew it would!

Funny though...this is the 3rd new account on my laptop, a family friend had to create a new for me the beginning of '08.

May the Good Lord bless you extra,
Andrea
