Interesting problem in Windows 7...

[newxperiment]

So, I've been an avid user of windows for a looong time...and I've never run across this issue...

Today, I went to work and when I came back and the computer wasn't responding to my attempt to wake it up, which happens occasionally. So, I reset it...However, when it rebooted and I logged back in, it ignored my user profile and built a new one.

Instead of using my existing profile named newxperiment, it created a new profile called newxperiment.mypc; which is obviously using the naming scheme of <user>.<pc name>

Everything was still saved in my original profile's folder and I did not lose anything....But I'm stumped as to why this happened, if anyone has any insight that would be great.

That's weird, sounds like a freaky little glitch, I'd be surprised if you see this again. Windows can just be tempermental sometimes. Every now and them it'll spaz but usually nothing bad happens. I would try to isolate why you computer won't wake back up.
