One of these is your old user profile folder:
1. HP_Owner
2. Owner
3. Administrator
If the old user account still works, login to that account and type =
%userprofile% in Start/Run and press ENTER. This will show the user Home =
path for that user account.
If not, download "SIDList.vbs" from
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/utils/ and =
run the script. The User Account names, their SIDs and the Profile =
folder paths will be listed in a log file, and opened automatically. The =
output looks like this:
=3D=3D Output =3D=3D
Username : Administrator
SID : <SID>
Profile dir : G:\Documents and Settings\Administrator
Username : Guest
SID : <SID>
Profile dir : G:\Documents and Settings\guest
Username : Ramesh
SID : <SID>
Profile dir : G:\Documents and Settings\Ramesh
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
And, regarding the new user profile, the profile folder will be created =
only after logging on to the user account atleast one time.

I suspect my administrator profile is corrupt and am trying to copy =

into a new profile per MS Article ID 811151. When I "explore" my hard =
drive=20
("C"), and open "Documents and settings," I don't see my old or new =
profile=20
there. I see my wife's ("Bonnie") and the rest are "Administrator," "All =
Users," "Default User," "HP_Owner," and "Owner." What am I doing wrong? =
