This How To is in regards to accurately and efficiently re-create a user profile for the benefit of the End User, and saving yourself from further help requests in the hours following the profile rebuild. This How To is not about file redirection, roaming profiles or any other such thing. Remap any network drives, printers, task bar items and any other cosmetics from step 1.

For example you may need to reach back and restore the users Google Chrome folder here:Ĭ:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Dataĩ.Ěfter you are sure that you have moved all the users’ data from the old profile on to the new profile. often time store the user data in the "AppData" folder as well. ***Web Browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, etc. **If the user was fond of Sticky Notes, they can be found here:Ĭ:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes This folder is most likely housing the garbage that jacked-up the user profile in the first place. *Do not transfer the “AppData” Contents unless you specifically know what you are looking for.

You'll need to set these up again in a few minutes. Take screen shots or take notes of the users profile mapped network drives, mapped network printer, Task bar shortcuts, etc. For the users convenience, (and your own) take a quick look at how the user has their profile set up.
