I used the Recover personal files troubleshooter tool and I get the next message:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User account already recovered
The personal files for the user account <AccountName> have already been recovered. Please select another user account.
Is there any way to mark that user account in the Windows.old folder as not recovered so I can use the tool?
