How to change or restore user profile path registry?

[elldeegee]

Hi,

I am actually searching for profile path registry. So I can change it according to what I need.
Is there any way to restore user profile?

Thanks in advance.

Well I don't know much about this but I am sure you need to modify the profile path registry for this.
But if you want to delete user profile from registry then
Delete Windows User Profile in Registry
Steps:
Start - Run - Regedit
Registry key :“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList”
ProfileList
-1-5-21-3656904587-1668747452-4095529-500
Under ProfileImagePath you can see the username and profile path.
Now chose which you want to delete:
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList”

I hope this helps.

How to restore a user profile in Windows 2000

This step-by-step article describes how to restore a user profile as well as the following user profile items:

* Documents
* Desktop settings
* Favorites
* Cookies

By default, when you first log on to a Windows 2000-based computer, Windows creates a user profile folder in the %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings folder, and you are given Full Control permission. If you lose the Full Control permission for this folder, Windows creates a new user profile folder the next time that you log on and you can no longer access the original user profile folder unless you have local administrative authority on the computer.

If you lose access to your profile folder, Windows creates a new profile folder for you, and places it in the Documents and Settings folder by default. Windows attempts to use your user name as the name of the new profile folder. However, if the old profile folder still exists, Windows modifies the name of the new folder to avoid duplicating the name of the original profile folder. In this scenario, you may see multiple profile folders for your user profile. The following information describes the default naming scheme that Windows 2000 uses for user profiles:

* If the username folder does not already exist, the new profile folder is named:
username
* If the username folder already exists, the new profile folder is named:
username.computername
* If the username.computername folder already exists, the new profile folder is named:
username.computername.000
* If the username.computername.000 folder already exists, Windows uses the next available increment of the username.computername.000 naming scheme.

For example:
username.computername.001
