    Windows XP SP3 User profile urgent problem

    Hello all, I need urgent help here. I messed around by accident with the computer and I am a new IT intern.


    1) I restored my system as I had lost everything stored in my profile.
    2) A new profile 'mlinda" is created with a proper domain attached to it
    3) My old profile "m.linda" remains and the domain is of a local computer and it no longer works with the (eg. CAA MAU) server's domain
    4) The original "m.linda" user profile contains almost nothing in it
    5) the newly restored user profile "mlinda" has fully restored.


    Question:
    1) How do I change "mlinda" (that has successfully retored everthing) back to
    "m.linda"
    2) How do I safely delete the new "mlinda" and ensure everything is back to normal with the old profile name?
    3) The outlook email is m.linda@xyz.com Will this be affected in anyway by changing the newly restored profile name back its old name?
    4) Do I have to change anything in the registry value?
    5) Should I do it with Administrateur account in normal mode or safe mode?
    6) can someone show me in video or picture attachment or just explain step by step...please!!

    This is terribly urgent. Any help is appreciated as I need to fx it by tomorrow or I lose my job.
