| Ultimate x86 | Re: [Question] how do i restore my personal folder Here is a simple way: Enable Guest account or create a new account (user). Go to Computer\C:\Users\Guest (or any new user) You will find all personal folder types there. Simply copy them. Done! The "donor" account can be deketed or disabled afterwards. |
