one of my co-workers asked my help getting her login back. for some reason,
she's unable to login to her machine. i was able to login as admin, but
couldn't see her account under the 'manage users' settings, though i do see
a folder for her under documents and settings.

is there a simple way to get this account back?

tks

Click to expand...

Start a Command Prompt, then type this command:

net user

Can you see her account name? If you can't then perhaps
you're working in a domain environment. If so then you
must ask your network administrator to assist you.
 
If the profile is corrupt, you can rename the 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.
