My User Profile was deleted by the system and replaces with a Temp User Profile. Anyone can tell me how to restore my user profile?
I tried Microsoft online "Help and support" and this what I get:-
Error message when you use a migrated user account to log on to a migrated computer that is running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP: "Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile"
CAUSE
This issue occurs because the NTUser.dat file is not released successfully after the file is loaded under the HKEY_USERS\<SID> registry key.
For example, when a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) query is run on the computer, all the cached NTUser.dat files are loaded under the HKEY_USERS\<SID> registry key. After the query has finished running, you expect the NTUser.dat files to be released. However, some files remain loaded. This behavior occurs because WMI is unable to resolve the SIDs of these NTUser.dat files to the corresponding user names.
Method 1
Delete the source user account.
Method 2
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Delete the SID entries for the source user account from the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
I tried method 2 and it still doesn't work, not sure if I should try method 1. I am afraid that method 1 may cause my entire system to collapse.
