A user last week rebooted her machine to finish applying the MS monthly updates and found that everything in her profile was gone... everything. All of her favorites, desktop items, program listings, all of it was gone. I looked through C:\Documents and Settings\username and foud her desktop items. Loging in and out did not resolve it. Rebooting didn't work, so she said she'd just deal with it. Oddly enough, some of the items returned spontaneously.
I tried the fix that MS suggested by creating a new profile and copying things to the new profile, but that didn't fully work either. In fact, the documents that were moved from the old desktop to the new desktop are now gone, and I can't find them. Problem is that this user is a high profile user and needs those files back.
Anyone have any suggestions? No matter how stupid they might sound, it could be something that I compeltely looked over, so any help would be appreciated.
