re-create user folder structure

hello everyone-

So I am taking a class on vista as part of my major requirements (im a
network admin major). As such, I have been doing a LOT of tinkering and
messing around with Vista, looking at things and playing with different
settings. Anyways, to make a complicated story short, I need to
re-create the admin, default and so on profiles as I somehow deleted the
default profile and had to make the admin profile the new "default
profile". So, is there any way to extact them from the vista DVD or do I
have to start over?

Hello Cuestakid,

You can see if doing a System Restore using a restore point dated
before this problem can restore it for you.

If not, then you may be able to just create a new administrator account
for your default instead of the built-in administrator one.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

well i actually was able to extract the contents of the vista dvd via
using 7zip-and i was able to get the folder structure but I could not
find a way to copy it correctly so I actually ended up starting fresh as
I could no longer create any new users so I had no real other option-I
did try a system restore and that didnt really do anything
thanks anyway

I'm sorry that you ended up having to reinstall, but glad to hear that
you got it sorted at the end.
