After powering on my laptop and logging in (as I always have done), my
computer tells me that the user profile is corrupt...contact administrator.
My files, settings, desktop, mail settings, etc are all different. When I
search for my files, they are listed as filename.bak.

Not sure what caused this profile to suddenly go bad, but is there a way to
recover my settings and create a new profile/user?

Thank you in advance!
 
If the profile is corrupt, you can rename it and the new .001 profile(while
logged on as local admin), then when the user logs on again a new profile
will be created from the image in \default user. You can then copy over the
items you need from the renamed profile. Copy the folder contents not the
folders themselves. When your sure you have all you need, you can delete the
renamed profile(s). Use the import function of your e-mail software.
