After upgrading Vista-64 to Win7-64, my profile is somehow mixed up in my actual C:\Users\[username]\ folder and also in C:\Users\TEMP\. It seems to mostly be in TEMP, including my registry data.
I find it very difficult to find useful information about resolving this issue, so I plan to try to merge the two folders and correct the registry manually.
If anyone has any information about this problem, or any advice on fixing the registry after effectively renaming a profile, I'd appreciate it. I still need to figure out if I should do this while logged into this account or switch to the other account that seems to be fine.
Thanks in advance.
This sounds promising. I'll try it out tonight or tomorrow. Thank you. – PileOfMush – 2009-11-06T21:21:22.780
This didn't do it for me exactly, but after reading through it and playing around a bit, what I actually did was merge everything into C:\Users\Temp, then I renamed it to my username and created a junction called Temp that pointed to my folder. After that, I logged in and manually changed every instance of the wrong path to the right one in Regedit. I'd have killed for a Find/Replace feature! – PileOfMush – 2009-11-07T03:48:44.703
