Hello all,
I deleted by mistake one of my profiles in Windows XP and I was wondering if
there is way to restore that profile.

Any ideas

Thank you.

Deleted 'how'?
Deleted the profile and its directories and removed all associated files?
Deleted the profile but not the directories/files?

Is its directory still found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\

If so - you can at least get the stuff out of it - but you will be better
off just creating a new profile with the same username and copying anything
you can recover overall.

as Shenan said, *HOW* did you "delete" the profile? (I presume by "profile"
you mean "User").

No, not the user. The profile for c:\Documents and Settings\unx225
Deleted the profile and all its directories and removed all associated files
 
No it was not the user that I deleted.
It was the profile from c:\Documents and Settings\unx225
I want to recover some personal files that I had in that profile.

That *IS* the User. Unless the files are still in the Recycle Bin, and/or
you have access to data recovery software you are stuffed.
*WHY* on earth didn't you do it through Control panel-User Accounts like
most normal people? that would have given you the option to keep data
files....
 
No, I did not delete the user. I deleted the profile from c:\Documents and
Settings\
I still have the user, but after I deleted the the profile, I logged in with
the same user and windows created a new profile c:\Documents and Settings\ my
desktop is different and the files that I had in My Documents folder are not
there.

Please help!!!

Why not? That would have given you the optio (AFAIK) to save data files.

I deleted the profile from c:\Documents and
Settings\
I still have the user, but after I deleted the the profile, I logged in
with the same user and windows created a new profile c:\Documents and
Settings\ my desktop is different and the files that I had in My Documents
folder are not there.

Well unless you have a backup, or the files are in the Recycle bin, I am
afraid you are stuffed.
