Default Recovering a user profile

If you have a local user profile that was disconnected from the user's
logon account, how can you tell Vista to point the logon account back
to the original user profile?

To do that in XP, you would change the ProfileImagePath to the
original profile folder and then make sure the user had appropriate
permissions to the folder.

But that doesn't work in Vista. What else does Vista need to point
back to the original profile?


Note that the goal is programmatic control, so I need to understand
how Vista finds and verifies the profile. Any pointers?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What does that mean, "disconnected from the user's logon account"?
