Windows 7 update changed user profile path to temp/moved old files

My aunt has an old HP G7 laptop. She was in word and saved stuff to her desktop and documents. She shut the computer off and it must have updated windows. When she restarted, her files were gone from desktop and documents.



I looked at the computer and there is a temp hp user under C:\Users. Her user profile is now set to that folder from the update. Her old files are under C:\Users\Monique (her old user profile and current username.) Is there any way to change the path of the user profile to get her files back to normal? They are still there but she doesn't want to go to that path every time to find her stuff.



Idk what caused the user profile to change to a new temp path in the update, but something went wrong. Her wallpaper also changed (not a big deal though).




Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!!
