I may have confused the explanation, but the ntuser.bak file is dated from
June 11th... April 19th was the first complete repair-installation to update
the System with SP3... and I haven't done major changes to my profile since
June 11th, so it may be relatively safe to restore ntuser.bak but I will try
to copy my profile to a new user account, I already have three other
accounts I created a while back that I don't use, and had forgotten the
passwords, so I created a new user, and now I've found the passwords, so I
have a few options to try out.

My intentions are to backup files and profile settings, then copy my profile
to another account, and after that, restore the ntuser.bak file and if the
profile corrupts further there will be no real or unsurmountable harm done.
And yes from other user accounts the problem is not present, so I will
probably move my profile to another account and later delete the present
account if the problem is not corrected.


Thanks for your support.
