recovering user profiles(nt 4)

| I realize this might not be the best place to ask, but I'm grabbing for
anything I can find...
A friend of mine was deleting some unused user profiles to free up space on an
NT4.0 workstation. She was doing this through My Computer>properties>user
profiles. Well, she deleted one that really *was* needed. Of course, she
called me for help, but I don't work with NT... :-(
Is there any way to get back that user's data? Help!

[snipped]
check %windir%\profiles for the users folder.
%windir% usually = C:\winnt
only registry/account info is kept there ........ data should still be
on system.

| if completely deleted, meaning not even in the Recycle Bin, you may have
luck using WinHex to retrieve the deleted data.
