Windows User Profile Issues 

Case 1 – The user loses his settings after re-logon

Case 2 – The user logon using a temporary profile.

Case 3 – Whenever the user logon, the Windows creates another profile. For example, the user has profile called chicaotech. When he logs on, the Windows creates chicagotech.000. The chicagtech.000 will be disappeared after the user logoff.

Case 4 - If you have a Windows 2000 user account that misbehaves, it may be due to a corrupt user profile.

Case 5 - after you perform a clean Windows installation, you may receive the following error message: Windows cannot load profile. It may be corrupt. Contact your administrator.

Resolutions: 1 – make sure the user has rights on the profile folder, Users or Documents and Settings.

2. Delete the profile and then have the user re-logon. That will create a new profile.

8.

Log off the computer, and then log on as the new user.
