Krabban,
What do you mean with "How do I edit profiles"? Do you want to change the path? It's in Active Directory Users and Computers (in administrative tools in Start Menu or Configuration Panel).
If you want to edit them on a file level, they are located in c:\documents and settings\<username>

I don't really know wat I want... I just know I have messed up and I want to repair the mess! 
***
1. The boss's computer:
I changed the nam,e of the computer and that was a BIG misstake.
Now she can log on, but no e-mail, no admin privs, wich means no settings is working...
2. The co-workers laptop:
I added him to the domain and his desktop became blank and no mail.
***
I know the profiles are hiding in "Documents and Settings".
If you right-click...
This computer --> Preferences --> User profiles.
Please explain, what is this tab for? I can't edit anything...! (I have tried in various computers.)

The tab you are talking about is for the 3 tasks you can see there: Copy it, delete it or make it a roaming profile.
About the boss computer: No e-mail.. I take it it was a stand-alone pc before? If so, she used to log on with a local profile and now she might be using a (totally different) roaming profile? Same goes for the laptop. You could make a user account on your domain for your boss and add her to a certain group (call it localadmins or whatever you like). Then, on the pc, add that localadmins group to the local group "local admins" and she'll have administrator rights on that pc again.

Everything seem to work fairy good...
I think the option of makin it a roaming user is faded out.
Also, I think I did something dumb when I ran the Office Update along with the Windows Update. It seems like they don't have the cd's at the office... and now sometimes Outlook won't start.
