From within the registry the old user profile became corrupted after deleting the .bak entry by mistake. Plus the old user profile isn't quite the same as the original. I'm able to logon to the old user profile but am not able to access any of the encrypted files. Which didn't really make any difference as kept non-encrypted backups
Anyway I decided to create a new user profile, rather than try to repair and mess around with the old one.
I've copied some files to the new user profile such under Desktop, Documents, etc. However I'm wondering if I should simply copy all the files under the old user profile's "Appdata" folder to the new user profile? There's currently over 2.5 gigs under the old user profiles "Appdata" folder and around 1.8 gigs under the new user profiles "Appdata" folder.
Under Appdata there are three folders, Local, LocalLow and Roaming
