You will have Administrator maybe a default and should have your name.
if there is more than one in your name that could be your problem.
Thanks for everyones help so far, but it's been unsuccessful, and the whole lot has very nearly been thrown out the window.
CraigN - I just checked this and there is indeed more than one folder in there
My original folder NThomas is there, and if I open it, all my files etc are in there. However there is another folder called NThomas.NICK
I have no idea where it's appeared from though? How do I change it so the PC boots up with the other user name?
Should I just delete the new folder and see what happens?
Also, I ran the system restore and currently have it running on a restore from the 1st of Jan. Should I undo this before I do anything else, or will reloading my old user profile override this?
Thanks everyone for the help, I am massively grateful for all advice
