Thanks.
The temp account that came up after I logged in had missing items on the desktop and factory settings elsewhere. I still see my original user account folder located under the directory c:\Windows\Users\
When I first had this problem last week, I found some information saying to just delete the key ending in .bak, as that was the temporary user profile. I'm thinking this person may have been confused.
I was, however, able to stop getting a temporary profile after log-in by simply deleting the file ending in .bak while keeping the other. Hmm. ?? The account looked the same as the temp but I could save data and files when I logged out.
So after finding this thread, I restored the deleted .bak key from RegBack to see if the pathway was correct- which it was.
Now, by deleting both files, is it possible for my programs to be restored to my desktop and my files located back under This PC rather than having to find them in c:\Windows\Users"(Original User Account Name)"?
