Bug? Renaming local profile does not create a new profile
Bug? Renaming local profile does not create a new profile
- If you rename the local c:\users\user.name profile folder to e.g. "c:\users\user.name_old". The next time the user logs on, he will not get a new profile created, but rather C:\Users\TEMP as the profile name. How come this happens? We always did this "trick" on XP when we would like to back up a users profile to give him a new profile to check if the problem fixed itself by giving the user a new profile. If not, then we could just ask the user to log off, and rename the _old profile back to the original folder.
And how can I remove a user from using C:\Users\Temp ?
I'm not sure if this happens at Vista too.

- Access computer managment from control panel\administrative tools\local users and groups.
Create a new user. Disable the problem user. Log off and on selecting the new user and make the obsaervation as to if the new user functions properly. - Uh what? we are running an active directory here with hundreds of users. I cannot just disable an old user in AD.
- Why not?
If you can find a user's profile folder out hundreds of folders then why can't you find a user name in local users and groups? You lied becouse active directory is designed for controling accounts.- ModifiéDEFCON 1 samedi 4 juillet 2009 14:58

- I would like to know the trick too !
i only know how to regen a new profile as below.
rename c:\users\user.name" "c:\users\user.name_old" look into the following key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ ProfileList
and find the user's corresponding SID subkey, delete it and then login the user, it will create a new user profile for the user.
