Windows Profile (User Settings) Failure

Problem Environment: General Windows

Sometimes if the a crash happens on your windows your profile get's damaged.
You desktop files and all settings are missing and you appear to be in a totally new profile.

Most cases I experienced can be solved simply.

Here is my solution:

1. Open My Computer
2. On your system installation (usually C:) right click and select properties.
3. Click on Tools Tab
4. Click on error checking button
5. Select option Automatically fix file system errors
6. You will be prompted to run this maintenance at next reboot. Click ok
7. Reboot

The reboot will fix file and disk errors. After this your profile should be again usable.
