Lost User Profile

I stupidly changed my laptop from Domain to Workgroup and
could no longer login. I found a workaround for this, but
when I login my old user profile has disappeared. I look
in System Properties under the User Profile tab and find
that most of the names now say "Account Unknown". When I
look in the Documents and Settings directory my profile
information has gone. I have looked in the Registry at the
Profile List and can see the profile SID numbers are still
there and Profile Image Path shows the old names.
Is there any way I can re-activate these profiles and get
back my old settings (in particular all my e'mail files
from MS Outlook)?
Any advice would be very welcome.

In the profilelist settings in the registry if the path the sid references
is not there then the information has been deleted. You would need to try an
undelete to recover the Documents and Setting \ User folder. Then rejoin the
domain and login.
