[PCWorks] Cannot log into user account but the profile still exists

A friend tried to move her daughters user directory by copy and pasting 
but XP protested preventing her from being able to log into it. It is 
viewable through Explorer but the user account doesn't work.

So I thought a drawn out method would be to create a new user with the 
same security and copy her profile into that, then delete her old 
profile and re-create it again. Then copy her profile back into her 
newly created account.

Is this too much? Is there an easier approach? The system is XP Pro SP2.
