From: flep on 1 Sep 2009 11:33 I have a user that logged into her Windows XP PC and didn't realize she was in a TEMP user profile. She then moved all the files from her true windows profile to the temp profile. She then rebooted and lost all the documents from her desktop. Is there any way to recover the documents that were in the TEMP profile? Thanks in advance!
From: John John - MVP on 1 Sep 2009 11:45 Please explain what is the "TEMP" profile. Who created the TEMP profile? Was the profile and its files deleted by someone after she logged out? If not the files should still all be there in the TEMP profile. John flep wrote: > I have a user that logged into her Windows XP PC and didn't realize she was > in a TEMP user profile.

From: flep on 1 Sep 2009 12:59 Literally temporary user profile. In folder documents and settings where are all profiles was hidden folder (/profile) called "TEMP" and when I restarted system it was gone!

I'm sorry but what does roaming user mean? A computer was used by it's owner but windows made (I don't know why) a temporary user profile which was deleted after reset and win came back to normal profile... Now i need to restore files from this temp profile ;) "John John - MVP" wrote: > Was the user using a roaming profile? > > John > > flep wrote: > > Literally temporary user profile.
