Hi guys
This is a bit of a strange problem......my friend has just recently logged onto his XP SP3 machine only to be greeted with what look likes a completly clean profile (i.e. a new user), when he opens up My Documents it's empty. Strangely enough if you went to Documents & Settings - his username, the Documents folder in there was fine and had all his stuff in. There wasn't any other profiles or duplicates that had been created, just his profile, the admin one, default user and all users.
He copied all his docs from documents and settings to his current desktop then put them in this empty My Documents folder and everything was fine. Having shutdown and come back to his PC, all his documents are gone from both My Documents (where he recently copied his stuff to) and from Documents and Settings.
Any idea's where his stuff has gone or how we can get it back? I'm hoping we can retrieve most of his documents then just remove his profile and create a new one
