I have accidently deleted my user account off my laptop (vista home premium 32bit) but my files are still there in the user section of my hard drive. Can i recover it? If so how? I have only recently deleted it and I have another account with administrator privledges on it. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Yes, you may still be able to restore it. Try this below to restore it:

• Create a new administrator account
• Copy the contents of the deleted account's C:\Users\(user-name) folders into the corresponding new account's C:\Users\(user-name) folders. This copy all of the deleted account's settings and shortcuts into the new account.
• If everything checks out ok, you can delete the deleted account's C:\Users\(user-name) folder.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

If you copy all of the contents in each folder in the second step, then it should. There may be a few minor things that may not be there though. You're basically converting the new account to be like the old account since the old account cannot be restored.

You're welcome.
