I'm not knowledgeable about computers, so I might not be explaining this very clearly. Please bear with me.

My Inspiron 1545 Dell labtop, which I bought about a year and a half AGO recently crashed because I turned it off while it was installing updates. In order to bring it back, I used the Dell Datasafe LOCAL Backup program that comes with the computer to recover my files. Now, the computer seems to have created ANOTHER account called my name.my name-PC while all of my old files are in my original account, my name (when I say my name, I obviously mean my ACTUAL name). This new account seems to have become my default account, so for example my default document location is C:\Users\my name.my name-PC instead of just C:\Users\my name. My question is if there's anyway I can get the user to SWITCH over to my name again so all my files are in their default locations instead of in the users file.

My second question is if I can possible recover my software and old settings (for example, internet favorites) from before the crash. The restore wiped out everything, and reinstalling will be a pain in the *censored*.
