    User account has been reset.
    « on: August 07, 2009, 06:11:56 PM »
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This morning I logged on to my user accout and found that it had been completely reset to default. All my files are gone, I have to reinstall programs etc. It came up with an error: Your user account has been changed... or something, I can't quite remember exactly what it said.

    Is there any way to restore all my stuff?

    Maybe, if you tell us what the exact message is.

      I really can't remember, I didn't take a good look at it (stupid, I know), and the message does not reappear.

      Well, if the message is gone, there is nothing to worry about, isn't it?

        I have the same problem. Logged onto one of my PCs yesterday and the user account was completely reset to all the defaults. At first I couldn't find my files either but eventually I found them (I think all of them but not sure).

        How in the heck did it reset itself? It wasn't even connected to anything as I have to change all the peripherals when I switch PCs.

        I've thought it might be having a problem lately as my problem PC doesn't recognize any USB storage devices (tried 2 portable hard drives and multiple flash).

        Help.  ??? :( :'(
