Or that he is logged on differently.

Eg: before he signed on as JoeBlow on the LeeSupply domain. Now he is
signing on to JoeBlow still, but NOT the LeeSupply domain. Perhaps the
local machine.

I'd guess the user list or "Documents and Settings" directory got hosed.

Log in as Administrator & Manage Computer. Check his user enrollment.

Also do a CHKDSK /F.

Beyond that, I couldn't say. I've not encountered that issue before.
Maybe Walden or another of the MS gurus will have an idea.

Hi Folks,

Boy I've seen some strange stuff but this one has GOT me.

We have an employee that normally works at one of our locations. Due to
a person leaving at another location, he has had to go to that one to
work while they find a replacement. Well he happened to stop into his
normal location Saturday and his PC had completely changed. Everything
that was on the Desktop was gone, no email, iSeries emulation software,
etc auto loading like it normally does. I thought maybe SOMEHOW it was
on the Administrator log in but that wasn't it. When you start up
outlook ALL email is gone. If you try to look at Accounts it wants you
to Add a new one, none already exists.

ANYONE have ANY idea what the heck could have happened with this one ?

Thanks !

Chuck
