Vista - My account in C:\users

permalink · 10-22-2007

Hi,

I have created multiple accounts in Vista, but although my account is
visible as it's own (virtual) folder under Desktop, I cannot see it in
C:\users - I can see all the other accounts. Also, when I backup and do a
test restore, I cannot see my folder in c:\test restore\...\users. However
the directory is there when I run a command prompt and execute dir in
C:\users (and in C:\test restore\...\users

I've tried from different accounts on the pc - same result.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Keith

Hello,

did you once rename your User name? The folder may exist there under the old
name.

Greetings,
