hello everyone-
So I am taking a class on vista as part of my major requirements (im a network admin major). As such, I have been doing a LOT of tinkering and messing around with Vista, looking at things and playing with different settings. Anyways, to make a complicated story short, I need to re-create the admin, default and so on profiles as I somehow deleted the default profile and had to make the admin profile the new "default profile". So, is there any way to extact them from the vista DVD or do I have to start over?

If not, then you may be able to just create a new administrator account for your default instead of the built-in administrator one.
Hope this helps,

Re: re-create user folder structure
well i actually was able to extract the contents of the vista dvd via using 7zip-and i was able to get the folder structure but I could not find a way to copy it correctly so I actually ended up starting fresh as I could no longer create any new users so I had no real other option-I did try a system restore and that didnt really do anything
thanks anyway

I'm sorry that you ended up having to reinstall, but glad to hear that you got it sorted at the end.
