You have two options to rebuild a profile, several direct Registry edits or

creating a new user account and copying the old profile settings to the new

account.

The Registry edits are a little complex, so here are the steps. The first step

is to get into Safe Mode.

If you can access the sign-in screen but can’t log in, the easiest way to get

to Safe Mode is to hold the shift key and then click Power | Restart. Your

computer will reboot, and you’ll get the Choose an option screen, as

described earlier. Get to the Startup Settings screen and click Restart. This

brings you to the Startup Settings screen where you can select Safe Mode.

Once in Safe Mode, access an elevated command prompt. (Type cmd in

the Search field, right-click the Command Prompt option, and select Run as

administrator.) Type regedit and press enter to open the Registry Editor.

Navigate to this string to get to Figure 16-28:
