Dex - using system.alt won't make any difference to his profile!
Winston - have you checked the contents of the Administrator and Administrator.bak
profiles. When there's a corrupt profile, windows creates a new one, usually called
the same as old one with a .xxx extension (often .001, 002 etc). You can usually
retrieve the My documents, favourites, start menu and desktop items and email from
the corrupt profile and copy into new. If the old profile isn't actually there, it
suggests a filestore corruption has occurred (windows doesn't delete corrupt profiles)
- in which case I'd run chkdsk c: /f from command prompt (and ask it to run on next
restart).
If none of this any use, please post back for more suggestions.
