TEMP Profile


Issue: A user continually logs in and is forced to use c:\users\temp instead of the correctly named folder

Workaround: Note the users SID (set user) and logoff.  Delete the following registry keys.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\<USERSID>

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\<USERSID>.bak

The above can occur if a users profile folder is deleted manually instead of using the profile deletion interface in the computer properties.
