So my laptop was screwy this morning, mozy Home backup froze up and when tryign to kill the process, Windows Explorer crashed along with it. Windows 7 tried to do its normal recover, which went ok, but it was still sluggish, so i decided to do a reboot.
When I log back in to my local account, it was as if I created an all new account. The wallpaper, start menu, icons, etc were all back to the windows defaults. I paniced thinking all the stuff on my desktop was gone.
I located all my stuff in C:\Users\Neil\Desktop ...
I confirmed that I was indeed logged in to the same account, so what wasnt it showing? I created a folder on my new blank desktop, opened it to check the full path. It now points to: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\
How do I reset the user folder path to where all my stuff is?
And that link is dead. This is why you should always write the important content in the answer itself. – user628418 – 2017-01-04T11:02:08.517
Yep, just found that same site, fixed the registry key, and my profile is now back to the correct folder, thanks! – Neil N – 2010-08-12T15:05:22.513
