If you opent he regisrty editor and browse to this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Look for the SID for the profile you logon to. Edit the ProfileImagePath value to point to the correct location.

Look at each SID's values. Figure out which profile you are on by browsing to the documents and settings folder and comparing each profiles "my documents" folder to the one that opens when you open the "my documents" off of the start menu. Odds are it's probably "xxxx.000" where xxxx is your username.
