My computer is still part of a workgroup called MSHOME.
I think you are right, I inadvertently made my original username a
domain member of a domain. I think the 'neil fulcher.domain' username
is taking precedence over the original 'neil fulcher' username which
was part of a workgroup.

How can I drop the 'neil.fulcher.domain' user and reinstate my 'neil
fulcher' workgroup user settings?

BTW, I've tried copying the settings from my original username docs and
setting folder while logged in as 'Test' administrator but get loads of
'file access denied' messages (details below)

'Cannot copy "filename": access is denied'
'Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is
not in use'

When i hit OK it ends the process.

I started to list those "filenames" that were 'protected' and exclude
them from the copy process. I was only able to select a fraction of the
folders under Application Data and even some cookie files produced the
same error.

Help is greatly appreciated.
