I don't think there's an easy way to do that.
For you help, have a look at this : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. Under this branch, locate the key that contains your profile settings. The easiest way toidentify the correct key is to check the value of ProfileImagePath in the key and locate the one pointing to your current profile directory. Then, edit the value of ProfileImagePath to point to the old profile path. Log off and log back on. You could try to create a batch file that would run at startup.
