[linco]

Yesterday I upgraded from WinXP to Vista Ultimate. It went relatively well -- a few minor hiccups but...
the one problem I have is that it seems to have lost my User Account. It gives me a fresh 'Administrator' account with no settings. My previous User Account, called 'Linco' is still on the machine in a directory called Users, but it does not show up as an Account that can be logged on to. I tried to create a new account called 'Linco' hoping that it would use that directory but I get an error message saying that it can't create that account because the name contains foreign characters (it doesn't). Then, I created a new account called 'Linm' and then renamed it to 'Linco'. I log on using 'Linco' but all of it's settings are stored in the directory called 'Linm".

I can see the user Account Linco in Computer Management/Users and it looks like a normal User Account.

So, how do I get my old account with all of my settings back? Do I just drag and drop everything into a new Account or ??
