I have accidentially deleted the User Profile under W2K. All the documents under "My Document" are missing. Please tell me how to recover.

Millionn thanks!!!

W2000 is a bit unforgiving. When you delete a profile, all the assocated files go as well.
You might search for a third party Undelete program if the information is valuable. The trick there is not to use the machine until you get the software, so that the files are not over written too badly.
One place to try is:

OK, when you get to the Executive Software site which sells "Undelete", you can get a free utility called "Deleted File Analysis Utility" and see if you are able to recover the files. Also, check out Power Quest's "Lost & Found" program. We've had excellent results with it.

GOOD LUCK!
