Windows XP has lost user profile settings

Hi,
My comp running XP64 has had no problems until this morning when I logged in as admin as usual and I noticed generic xp desktop background, outlook contained one "Welcome to Outlook" message in the inbox", and everything else appeared as though this comp had just come out of the box. I was able to locate a user profile that looks like it should be my original one, but I have no idea how to switch to it/restore it.
Also, system restore cannot restore from any point I choose.
Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks,
-Shawn

Thank you, I have a suspicion that the user profile is indeed corrupted. I will follow the directions on the link you provided and post back when I can. Thanks again.
