After a power failure my desktop computer ended up with a corrut profile. I
have searched endlessly on how to fix a corrupt profile, but I now know I
will have to live with a new user profile and with old profile files copied
to new profile.

However.... I have noticed that after creating a new profile that all my
profiles now have an extension. My profiles used to just be my username, but
now any profile i create has the format of username.computername (i.e.
Johnny.home) and not just username (i.e. Johnny).

Is there anyway to fix this so my profile names are do not have a
..computername after them????

I am using Windows XP SP2, and this computer is not on a domain. This is
just a single computer I have in my home.

Thanks,
AL
 
As it turns out, I am also getting the dreaded BSOD. 0x00000077. I have
done my research, run some tests, and I'm pretty sure my drive has some back
blocks and I will be replacing the drive today. :-(
