Greg,
I believe what I copied over was the C:documents & settings\username --- now it is blank. When I log into this machine all I get is a screen with the recycle bin... I don't even get my computer, network neighborhood, etc... and when I go to the control panel to set these up... I never get them on the desktop? So is there anyway if I had a user who put all of his files on his desktop(don't ask me why) and the users documents&settings\username\desktop files were not deleted but copied over? How can I get these back? These files are very important and of course never backed up. Also when I go to the start Programs -- there are no programs listed... so i really messed something up but I don't want to restore the whole drive... because that isn't the issue. Any ideas anyone?
