Locating Lightroom Catalogue

I had a Windows crash yesterday and my local PC company eventually created a new user profile and transferred all my files over to it. How can I tell Lightroom where to look for the catalogue that's in the new profile?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Use Windows Explorer (or whatever it's called nowadays) to search for "*.lrcat" which should give the location(s) of your Lightroom catalogues. Then use 'open catalog' in the Lightroom File menu - Lightroom should remember the location thereafter.

Thanks for the reply John. When I try that, Lightroom is still looking under the old user name.
 
Thanks for the idea Phil. Really appreciate the reply.
