Copy User Profile Questions...


I created a new account C:\Docs & Settings\UserC on my system, and copied
profile settings from a corrupted account - UserB. Once everything was
copied over. I logged into UserC account and everything appearred to be
fine except for a couple of programs that were looking for C:\Docs &
Settings\UserB\myappdata\default profile\datacontent So I copied the
information over manually, and straightened that folder out.

I logged off UserC, and back in as 2nd admin UserA, I disabled the UserB
account and then deleted it. Then I renamed UserC back to UserB and
logged in on UserB. All the stuff I'd transferred over was hosed. It was
like a brand new account all over again. I go back into Docs and Settings
to see whats the heck is going on and I find a \UserB.Self-xxxxxxx folder in
there. I look inside and all my stuff is in this folder, and not in \UserB

So I copied it all back over to the UserB account. Perhaps theres something
I'm doing wrong here... but my problem is - now I've got 2 account folders
called UserB and UserB.Self-xxxxxxxx
I can't delete UserB.self Because it hoses \UserB and creates a new
userB.self.

HELP!!!!
