You just need to follow the directions in the link. Be careful you will have to modify the registry. I recommend backing it up first.

Thank you all, <br />
1- as the Nobus mentioned the temp profile is not under C:\Users so i can't take ownership of it. <br />
2- in the profile list (registry) i couldn't find the .bak and all profiles listed there are of regular users.

The above is true from Windows Vista onwards.<br />

Stop using the computer and get its hard disk out and attach it to another computer to do a data recovery.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
