Temporary Profile Created

  1. Restart your PC to release the locks on your profiles.

     

  2. Log on with another administrative account.

     

  3. Delete C:\Users\%username%

     

  4. Delete C:\Users\TEMP

     

  5. "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList". Check the value "ProfileImagePath" to make sure you pick your own profile.

     

    There will be Several Yellow Folders in this Directory

    Look in each "S" Folder and find the user name in question listed in ProfileImagePath

    (ie: C:\Users\Walter.Bremer)

    Delete the Whole S Folder that contains the key matching your SID (User Name)

     

     

  6. Restart once again and then you're done!
