Windows 10: How can I get back to my original user account.

I downloaded a program called “Account Profile Fixer” and I ran it only to struggle getting my original account settings back. My wallpapers are gone and my files are only seen and located in the c: folder. I have not lost anything but want to get back to my original user account with documents and downloads present in the folders.

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

Unable To Create User Accounts - Windows 10


I don’t know if this addition to my original thread will push it to the top of the queue. I have tried again by pasting netplwiz into the Run box as suggested by marshian. Yesterday I managed to create another User Account which although described as an Administrator Account indicates ‘This app can’t open’ for every single item. Can anybody please suggest how I can change this situation? Today I did the same thing again but find that I CAN open the various programs on that Account – although the Account is listed under a Users Group not Administrators Users.
There is also a Guest Account listed but as yet I haven’t been able to get into that since it does not appear for the next Log On when I click my Log Off or Switch Users shortcuts.
I will be grateful for any advice, Thanks ........
