    Recover a User

    One of my clients deleted a user from one of their machines.
    They lost all their documents and settings for that user, before backing them up.
    Is there any way to revert back to a old date to get that user and docs back?

    The documents are probably still there, login as administrator, go to documents and settings (make sure you have hidden files showing) and the deleted user will be in a folder username~name~ine - hopefully so will the documents and stuff!

    I'll give that a try today and let you know the outcome.
    Any other sugestions, if that doesn't work?

    That didn't work
    Thanks for trying, I think their files are lost forever.

    You could try This , there are a number of these programmes "out there"

    However, you should be aware that, although as NooNoo says the folder and files should be there, it is when you write to hard disk that these files can get over-written. Your PC is writing to hard disk continually when you use it, so if you do want to try a download and recovery, keep usage of the PC to a minimum - none is best!

    Good luck

    If the user's files have been deleted try Easy Recovery from Ontrack. They have a demo that will show what can be recovered, if you buy it.
