Hmmm... Thanks for the detailed explanation, Tazz.

I have looked over your first post and am certain that there is only one thing left for you to do:

Copy the following folders from your "C:\Windows.old\<User name>\" folder to your "C:\Windows\<User name>" folder:

1. Appdata folder: This must contain at least around 60% to 70% of your old settings and I can guarantee it that if you use Firefox, your old settings will be resored.

2. ProgramData folder: This might be the place for the rest of your settings.

Be forewarned of the risk involved: This copy over procedure might not work because even if you have given the same user name for both accounts, there ought to be different ID nos. associated with them.
The worst case scenario would obviously be an inability to log on to your account.
Hence I would suggest you back up the *current* state of the above folders so that if anything were to go wrong, you would not have to endure through another install procedure.

P.S.: In the first post, your original reason for repairing/upgrading was that "your Windows folder had gotten too big". Looking at the situation you are in now, I guess you would've been better off with a bigger Windows folder than all the headache you had to go through. If all you needed was more space on your C:\ drive, you could have tried running Disk Cleanup and deleting all but the most recent Restore point; as the default reserved space for System Restore [15%] could grow quite big.

Please do not mis-understand me; I am not meaning to lecture you, but before taking such a drastic step as a repair, you could have posted about your big Windows folder problem, upon which some one from here would've gladly helped you out.

Hope this helps and once again; please do not mis understand my above advice as a lecture. I apologise in advance if I have in any way hurt you after reading all the way tll here.
Thank You
