Hi guys, i had a first administrator account on my Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit laptop. The user account name was Owner. Someone went into the control panel/User accounts and safety and either pressed "delete files" or "keep files". But i think the person pressed keep files because i went to computer\Users and still saw a folder named Owner with all my old files. I tried to find the account in Regedit.exe and followed the steps accordingly to what other people say. I didn't see Owner in regedit. I know my files are hidden but how can I get my account back, is there a system restore to get the account back?

You can run a System Recovery from Safe Mode.

Will using system restore find my hidden user account "Owner"? I have to be sure because i can't undo system restore once it is running. And will the hidden "Owner" user account have all the files and folders as it did before it was hidden?

I can't guarantee that but, system recovery is supposed to restore Windows, including the registry, to the state it was in at the time the restore point was made. What you can do, is manually create a restore point before you try the system recovery.
