Temporary Profile
Hi
I run a Vista Home Premium PC. It is up to date as far as patches/updates go. It ran like a dream until a few days ago, when for some reason, on logging in (Using my only User account - Rod - and my usual Password) it "successfully" logged me onto my PC using a Tempoary Profile only. It runs through the whole "Preparing your Desktop" routine. Now, I have done some research and all I can find is to go to Regedit, drill down into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWS NTCURRENT VERSIONPROFILE LIST and find the SID profile under S-1-5....and delete it. When I get to that key in Regedit, I find 4 separate folders. S-1-5-18 S-1-5-19 S-1-5-20 S-1-5-21....................................(string of numbers) I read to find the profile with SID markers (?) - found in...18 and 21...none with .bak extensions though - and to delete it. WHAT do I delete if there is no .bak or temporary profile? I hope I am clear enough... I am really stuck on this. ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. Kind regards Rod Perth |
