You don't copy the files from within the corrupted profile! Log onto another
profile, create the new one from there, log onto the new profile, copy the
data using Windows Explorer.
If you really can't figure this out, perhaps taking the machine to a local
professional would be a better choice for you. There is no shame in doing
this. Just don't use a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place as you
generally won't get good service there.
