Well the more complex the users requirements the more difficult this is. You can move the data on the same drive, which means you the data transfer would be instant. So you could move the data from the profile to a temp folder on the same drive then move back when you recreate the profile.

I am basing this answer on you being on a domain using a domain account login?

The easiest way is to re-create the profile. Reboot the machine so that no open handles to the profile are present, login as admin and make a duplicate of the profile folder (most likely under c:\users\%username%) and then in the start menu type 'advanced user' the top search result should be 'configure advanced user profile properties'. Click this and then highlight the profile and delete it. Then get the user to login to the system again, which will recreate the profile. Then copy all his data back into it from the backup.
