When you first log on to a Windows 2000-based computer, Windows creates a
user profile folder in the %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings folder,
and you are given Full Control permission. If you lose the Full Control
permission for this folder, Windows creates a new user profile folder
the next time that you log on and you can no longer access the original
user profile folder unless you have local administrative authority on
the computer.
If you lose access to your profile folder, Windows creates a new profile folder for you, and places it in the Documents and Settings folder by default. Windows attempts to use your user name as the name of the new profile folder. However, if the old profile folder still exists, Windows modifies the name of the new folder to avoid duplicating the name of the original profile folder. In this scenario, you may see multiple profile folders for your user profile
To restore a user profile, the Documents and Settings\username profile folder must still exist, and you must have the Full Control permission for this folder. If you do not have the correct permission for your user profile folder, you (or someone else) must log on to the computer as an administrator and restore the required level of permission to your user profile.
