Can you pleasetell me how to restore my currupted profile in Windows Professional. I turned my computer on one day and it told me that my profile was currupted. I ignored it and my desktop was different and all of my shortcuts were gone. I went intoexplorer and went to documents and settings and I see administrator and administrator.bak. (administrator is my user name) and all of my info is not there. The most important thing that I need is my E-Mail. I use outlook. Can you please tell me how to restore my E-Mail. My E-Mail address is "vze3wqdk@verizon.net" Thank You!!!

Hi,
If you used Office Outlook, try a find about "*.pst" file, then copy in a safe location/folder and configure your Outlook to point to this location.
Generaly is a good practice to store your e-mails in a dedicated folder other than profile or program files.
Also you can try to find in Winnt\profiles the old profile and copy all necessary files\shortcuts.

If you work in a network enviroment, maybe the admin have a backup of your profile.
