I used the method Ming-Li described, but I did one thing before I
changed the "Home Directory": copy the whole subdirectory tree under
that account to the new desired directory. Hit the old
crtl-shft-alt-L. Voila.
I don't remember whether the account.* files where overwritten in the
new directory when I changed the "Hone Directory", maybe so; I think I
copied these again from the origianl location to the new one.
I am sure you had backups, too. ;-)

The database was probably currupted for some otehr reasons. However, I
would prefere Ming-Li's method over fiddling with the registry, too.
