Fix a corrupt profile in Windows 8 using this trick (copy old to new profile)

If you want to fix a corrupt or damaged user profile in Windows 8, refer to the tutorial below.

What is a User Profile?

User profile is nothing but a set of customisation of the default settings of the operating system, for each user of that operating system.
Each user can customise the operating system appearance for only his own account through his user profile. He/she can add a picture as his/her account
picture, can set a default desktop background, can apply a theme and also change the appearance settings for that account only.

Each user profile is secured against profile corruption. But it may be corrupted or damaged while using Windows 8
