Long story short, I changed the SID of my computer, and now it's almost as though I'm logged in as a guest, and I can't access any of my files or programs. They're all still there, but Windows appears as if I'm logged in for the very first time.


I'm using Vista Ultimate 32x.


Thanks.

PS. I tried changing my SID back, and that didn't work.

@ Premium Plus - How many accounts did you initially have ?
Did you change SID for all ?
Is the correct account name still coming in account info ?
