A mate, let's call him Alf, just dropped off his XP pc saying that all his documents have vanished.

Logging in as Alf, I can verify that the My Documents and Desktop are empty.

Logging in as admin, a new folder has been created in Documents and Settings called 'alf.machinename' and his stuff is in there. The original Alf folder is also there, but obviously empty.

Any ideas how this new account has been created? Now scanning for viruses etc
