Add a user back 1

[Boozer]

A user was removed, but all his files, desktop settings etc. are still available. Is there a way to add the user back in like he was never taken out, so he has everything setup how he wants it?

Sort of.

Add the user and then:

. Logon as the (new?) user and see if the same profile is assigned. If the username is identical in all particulars it is likely the profile will be restored intact;

. If not, you can copy from the old profile to the new profile as Administrator.
