    If you lose access to your profile folder, Windows creates a new profile folder for you, and places it in the Documents and Settings folder. In Registry Editor you should check the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    If you deleted the profile you can granted full access to the existing profile

    edmacd - can you log on as administrator? Can you add your normal login to the administrators group and get access that way?

    AS I originally said, I wasn't positive exactly what your problem was so if I missed it again, please post more details of the exact problem.
