Your insight and/or assistance is needed. (In point of fact, I am not so smart as I once thought.)
What follows is a not-so-marginal OS complication that I hope Power Tools 2007 might help me resolve.
BTW, I am a past purchaser/registered user of both PT 2006 and RegSupreme Pro. Both have been, in the past, instrumental in keeping my home PC well-tuned and smoothly functional. I have, only recently, installed PT 2007, but NOT yet used it to manipulate the PC's present registry.
Here is the situation:
After a reinstall (from OEM disk after a major registry corruption ) of WinXP Pro SP2 Media Center 2005 Edition several semi-duplicate folders were created in the "C:\Documents and Settings" folder/directory.
Where prior to the reinstall (originally) there existed sub-folders named "Adminsitrator", "All Users", "UserName", Default User"...
NOW C:\Documents and Settings sub-folders exist named "Adminsitrator", "Administrator.ComputerName" "All Users", "All Users.Windows", "UserName", "UserName.ComputerName", "Default User", "Default User.Windows" and...
Some ancillary(?) sub-folders named "LocalService.NT AUTHORITY", "NetworkService.NT AUTHORITY". and the "1-TEMP" folder for the temporary user I created for the duration of my rebuild.
I am concerned because the File Modification Dates are CURRENT for (only, but a few) certain files within each sub-folder, causing me to think that there is cross indexing of some sort occurring after my rebuild (of the PC) to a working state.
Now the question:
What PT 2007 tools should I use to integrate and/or (optimally) restore the "Documents and Settings" original sub-folders and OS relationships?
Further, is it possible that someone might give me basic instruction on how to proceed?
Other info:
Restore points are NOT available, neither are backup drive images or regular PC file duplicates as they were made to a DEFECTIVE Maxtor one-touch 500GB external drive, since replaced by a new fully functional Western Digital unit.
If PT 2007 or 2006 are not designed to deal with such a circumstance as above, could you direct me (or provide a link) to a site that might be of help?
