I suspect that you could get things back with some registry changes but that
is a lot of work.

You could consider creating a new user account, hopefully that would have
the organization that Vista expects. You could move the files after and then
delete the original account. You might wait a bit to see if someone here
comes up with registry or reset instructions. I can't think of more help.

Good luck,
Michael
