So i want to know how i can access the profile which is on that computer from another computer and save everything etc...

C:\Documents And Settings

Right click on this directory: Properties > Sharing.
Enable Sharing and name the share whatever you want.

Get the name of the PC it will be on by right clicking on My Computer, and selecting the computer name tab.

On the pc you want to copy the stuff too, go to run in the start menu and type

\\ComputerName\SharedName

Where ComputerName is the name of the orignal computer on the network, and ShareName is whatever you called the share you created.

Then copy over the profile directory you want.

This should work.

Disable sharing on the Documents and Settings folder afterwards by right clicking on it: Properties > Sharing, and then disable it. All should be fine. I think.

you could start your computer in safe mode and use the admin account.
