How to restore the old user profile

I wanted to access some downloaded files that was stored in a temp folder. I did have access to this folder so I changed my folder option to be able to view hidden directories and files. He said that I had to be an administrator to do and I said OK. He then proceeds to change the attributes on thousands of files. In the end, I got is more access to my file and the original files, I became a new person, so to speak. I can manually view my old records, but I want to restore my old user profile, because this new profile is created a lot of problems with previously installed programs. I have two NTUSER. DAT files in my user C:\User\John folder. The dates are when the computer has been initially implemented 16/08/2012 and when the profile changes yesterday 07/02/2013. How to restore the old profile (from 16/08/2012)?

Thank you

  • How to restore the old settings of default theme?

    Woke up this morning to find that firefox automatically updated their add-on from the default theme to version 22. Information on webpages (images, fonts, etc) are about 4 times the size that it used to be, but the police to bar menu is the same size. I can't find a way to get it back to how he has summer - because if won't let you get rid of it, and I can't use it like that - since I have to scroll just to spend in addition to the address bar in my email (and my resolution is the highest possible value). Any ideas for something similar to the old version? given that this font size makes it seem like I'm reading a book for children and is totally intolerable.

    Amendments of the code regarding the HiDPI support high-resolution displays have landed at Firefox 22 and later (bug #844604).

    You can change the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value of 0.1 or 0.05 as follows to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.

    • The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a string parsed in float value and allows you to adjust the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) specifically (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
    • Change the default value of-1 to 1 to make it work as in previous versions of Firefox (100%)

    Start with a value of 1 and adjust this value with 0.1 or 0.05 for finer settings.

    • Use values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the items (do NOT go all the way to 0.05!)
    • Use a value greater than 1.0 to grow and enlarge the elements (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).
    • http://KB.mozillazine.org/about:config

    If the web pages must be adjusted after changing this pref so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint.

    This extension allows to adjust the font size for the user interface:

  • How to restore the previous user files

    Hello

    I did 3 times until I noticed this.

    1. install Java JDK.

    2 android Studio (SDK)

    3 tried to show hidden files

    Last action, I did because I saw in my App folder (for android developers) user folder.

    I 207 GB of various files under my user folder, so I realized that it would take a lot of time to go through all the files, and my computer was looking

    for hidden files, I cancelled the operation. Then I changed the settings in the properties of this folder not to display hidden files. My computer started to do something new. Within a certain time (computer is still indexing files) I decided that I need to see hidden files, so I canceled the operation and restarted - show hidden files.

    Later, I restored my system using the system restore before step 1. Install Java JDK.

    My settings are to restore files, but as I noticed through my system devoted only 9 GB (I have 207 GB of various files under my user folder).

    If I go to the properties of folder-> Previous Versions, I can see all the missing files there but if I try to restore it will short 11FR and somewhere in the middle of system restore even just restore. I could just copy the files manually but there is a lot of work and I have only 25 GB left.

    I think that it (indexing) pointing to existing files because they are there because if I click on my user account properties, it shows me the 207 GB in size.  For example: folder my pictures shows 4.7 GB, but 2 files inside I see have only 38MB. Photos are not hidden or system files?

    "Show files and folders" are an instant response option, it does not take any of the computer when dealing with this change and make sure that the files appear.  He has no real scan/find the files when you use this option and is completely unrelated to the index which is a separate search function.

    Are you referring to your photo or picture library folder?  The library can contain many other places.

  • Pavilion Slimline 400-314: cannot delete the renamed user profile

    Greetings!

    I've been enjoying the nuances of Windows 8.1... right.  In any case, I have Win8.1 64-bit on this excellent HP SLimline PC.  Now, I need help with the operating system.  I am an avid user of Windows 7 and like it a lot. My four PC's the only one with 8.1 and I have some learning curve experiments, of which this is one.

    So, I got this computer since July 2014 and did not otherwise than with the administration of the accounts.  The problem is that the account administrative principal (Yes, I use two accounts, one for the daily work and an administrator account to manage the computer - life is safer like that).

    The username admin account had to be changed, so I did.  You would think that changing the name of the account automatically would do this in all areas of the system filiing.  In this case, not so much.  WIN8.1 has created a new profile.

    I'm not saying that the name of the profile has not changed for purposes of connection, he fact and that seems fine.  However, looking at the users listed in the Explorer file and also on the network, the old user profile still exists with all rights and privileges of the Administrator profile normal.

    I think that's not good for two reasons; It is confusing on the network. It also creates a set of accessible files because there is no way to connect to clean.  And it may pose a security problem.

    Also, note that has not degraded the function of the computer, but it appears sometimes in unpredictable circumstances.

    What have I done to alleviate this problem?   Initially took a chance on system restore. I do not have a restore point will go back far in time to correct it.  Then I tried the old "select and delete" some content. Not a good idea and the system let me not in all cases.  I don't know that it needs to be done by the operating system.  I'm not sure I want to change the registry immediately, but maybe it's my only choice.

    So, I'm at a stand still for the resolution. Not wanting to rebuild the computer, I need a way to rub user profiles and delete the one which is supposed to be deleted.

    As always, thanks to all those who can suggest a positive way to correct this problem. It's probably very easy... maybe

    Banhien... Thanks for all your help in this matter.  Between your good suggestions and a little thought on my part, I was able to remove the 'extra' account on the computer.  To change the standard account using your idea was the key, except in this case, it was a little more complex.

    Note that there are only meant to be two accounts on this computer.  Here's what I had to do:

    1 log on as an administrator.

    2. change the administrator account.

    3 Rename the account administrator to the name that it was before I renamed it and capture a standard user.

    4 restart the computer (even if it is perhaps not necessary, just a good idea so that everything lines up again)

    5. open a session under the 'new' admin account (that I changed standard user)

    6. remove the standard account renamed and all of its associated files.

    7. create a new Admin account as the administrator

    8 change the original standard user, turned administrator, standard user feedback.

    Now, I'm back for two accounts;  an administrator account and a Standard user account.

    Restarted the computer.

    Set up the 'new' account of the administrator

    Thanks again for your help. Have a great day.
