  Original title: need help with setting up an account

  Hi Larry,
  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  From your description, it seems that you are not able to connect to the user account when you try to connect you get following error. The user profile Service has no logon

  This behavior can occur if the user profile was deleted manually using the command prompt or by using Windows Explorer. A profile that is manually deleted does not remove the security identifier (SID) of the list of profiles in the registry.

  If the SID is present, Windows will try to load the profile using the profile Image path that points to a nonexistent path. Therefore, the profile cannot be loaded.

  To resolve the problem with the user account, you can follow these steps:
  Method 1:
  (a) click Start, type regedit in the start search box, and then press ENTER.
  (b) search for, and then expand the following registry subkey:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

  (c) right click the SID that you want to remove, and then click on remove.
  (d) log on to the computer and create a new profile.

  Note: We strongly advise against making it the standard way to remove the user profiles on computers. Documented and supported approach is using the system advanced settings in the system, "Profiles" settings properties For programs, it is available using the API 'delete profile '.

  If the SID is present, Windows will try to load the profile using the profile Image path that points to a nonexistent path. Therefore, the profile cannot be loaded.

  Hi Paul,

  1. what anti-virus software do you use?

  2 you use the password while logging on to the user account?

  I suggest you of change the logon window and the shutdown preferences in Windows XP to resolve the problem.

  Setup configures Windows XP to use the friendly welcome logon screen and close buttons, if your computer is installed as a computer (a computer where a network domain has not been specified).

  This article describes how you can enable the classic logon screen used by Windows XP Server that resembles the following example:

  Log on to Windows

  User name: _______
  Password: __________

  To temporarily use the classic logon screen, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete twice on the Welcome logon screen.

  To configure Windows XP to use the classic logon and shutdown for each logon screens, follow these steps:

  a. click Startand then click Control Panel.
  b. double-click user accounts.
  c. click on change the way users log on or off the power.
  d. Click to uncheck the use the Welcome screen check box.

  Note: If you disable the Welcome logon screen, you also disable the fast user switching option.

  If you want users to press CTRL + ALT + DEL before the classic logon appears like a Windows XP-based computer that is joined to a domain, follow these steps:

  a. click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box and then click OK.
  b. click the Winlogon subkey at the following registry location:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
  c. click change, click newand then click DWORD value.
  d. to change the name of the value, type DisableCADand press ENTER.
  e. keep the data value set to 0. The set of data values appear as 0x00000000 (0).

  Warning: Ask users to press CTRL + ALT + DEL before the classic logon screen appears.

  If you don't want that, then come back in a classic.

  Note: To do: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• Extra ' ' my Documets folder in my system and the USER account.

  I use XP Pro and my system has been reinstalled around March. I was bound and not not determine that this happen. I went to Western Digital and watched the external 500 GB drive. They were always out of stock, so I said the * with it and go the 1 Terabyte.The lead first had problems so I had to wait again. When it arrived I started to drag / drop my file on the external drive. Somehow. and I don't know how to explain 'USER', that is Documents and settings - all users by default Administrator USER user the "USER" account earned an extra folder called got an additional file 'My Documents' on this account, it is a system file and I can't remove it. " I CAN move it. So should I just day forget about it or just keep three "My Documents" on my system. Note that the extra "My Documents" file is not on the external drive. I know I asked this before. I tried all the suggestions, but good number of suggestions I could not follow because the procedure was not on my system.

  All user accounts have the 'My Documents' folder and some of them are not the standard user system or administrator accounts that don't care.

  As long as you save in 'My Documents' in your profile then life is simple. Your profile is physically located in C:\documents and setings but do not venture here as your dekstop icons already give you shortcuts to 'My Documents'. Voila

• Unable to access the user account

  I have an old computer, but it is always useful.  On startup, I get this message:

  "Windows cannot load the locally stored profile.  Possible causes of this error include insufficient security rights or a damaged local profile.  If the problem persists, contact your network administrator.

  DETAILS - an operation i/o initiated by the registry failed irreparably.  The registry could not read, write or flush, one of the files that it contains the image of the registry system. »

  What can I do to access my account and My Documents with all my stuff in it?

  Thank you very much!

  Try to find that the problem with the user account is probably not worth the time it would take. Restart the computer in Safe Mode. When you are prompted, choose to log in to the administrator account. Go to control panel > user accounts. Create a new account here. Name anything at random for now. Now navigate to my computer > C drive open > Documents and Settings folder. Your old user account. Now locate all records containing your files. Copy and paste them in the folder appropriate for the new account. Now delete the old account.  You can now change the name of the new account name you had in the old account. It is probably the best way to fix it.

• How to redirect the user account to the correct folder in Documents and Settings?

  Under XP.  One of the user accounts seems to have been directed to the wrong user folder (the one that has been somehow created) in Documents and Settings.  Start menu, My Documents, etc are now empty, but they used to be OK.  The (desired) exact content is always in a folder user, but it is apparently not accessed.  I looked and looked and can't find how to reset the pointer (for example, identify the correct folder for that user).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Need to access the user accounts from previous installations

  I am running Windows XP Pro, and I have installed new software.

  When I have it ran for the first time my PC crashed. Now, whenever I try to load it up it just keeps restarting before you get to the login screen. Safe mode does not help you, or doesn't last known good configuration. There is no recovery point recorded.

  I searched online for help and tried to repair the Windows version by inserting the CD and choose 'Repair', but there is no repair option. He wants me to install a new version of Windows on the partition, which, from what I understand, going to wipe my user accounts. It would be a big problem, as I have a lot of data out there that is very important for me who is not saved. My fault, still backward, etc. No not after the sympathy, just stating the facts!

  I also have Windows XP 64 is installed on a separate partition, and I loaded this up to see if I can see the user account I want to access. I can. But I can't access it because it is password protected, and it just comes up saying 'access denied '.

  So, how do I gain access to this user account? Doing anything to the working version of XP64, either by repairing the other partition inactive?

  All welcome, no matter how much of a long shot it is advice. I'm getting desperate!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Malkeleah,

  I had real problems trying to get Knoppix to work. I downloaded on my laptop, then had to put on a USB key to burn on the PC with Win 64 on (portable DVD player is read-only), but I couldn't do burn. I kept of burning errors using the built-in burner after first unpacking the ISO on the laptop (no support ISO native in Windows XP), or when I tried to install on win 64 the system burning software I got error messages saying: the software wouldn't run as soon as I clicked to install it. And Yes, I checked that I was using the software compatible 64-bit! No idea what it was, the 64-bit version has never really been used, not even well why it is installed.

  In any case, after that much hitting my head on the office followed a couple of pints in pubs, I managed to find another way around this problem, which was to take ownership of the files according to the instructions on the Microsoft Web site:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/308421

  It worked wonderfully for me, and I have been able to support Windows 64-bit, re - install XP 'normal' and then appropriated again under that. 2 files come with errors and would not sell the property, but they were not even remotely important if everything is good. I got literally thousands of other files that flies over without any problems.

  In any case, thank you for taking the time to help me, I'm sure that your method would have worked if I had been able to create a CD (I would have posted off the coast for one if everything else has failed because they will send one in the world for any $2 IIRC), but for someone else who did a search and found my ad the above that I mention is worth a go as an alternative method.

  And no, I didn't have the encrypted files. Just locked the account of some simple password protection.

  Thanks again,

  Chris.

• Need to change the name of the administrator under the folder of the user account

  I just got a new HP laptop with Windows Vista 64 SP1. My friend who got the laptop I use a nickname that I hate it when he set up the computer for which it was not supposed to do in the first place. I went to the section control panel user accounts control and changed the name of the administrator account. I have only the administrator account on my computer with the guest account. That part worked.

  My problem is that, under C:/Users / (username), it still shows that hated nickname. I want to change the name of this folder, but cannot understand how or if it's possible. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

  As you have discovered, you cannot change a user account by simply changing the name. That will be a change cosmetic only and none of the files/folders real profile will be changed. Follow the instructions below to fix things to your liking and to implement correctly under Vista user accounts.

  1. create the new user account (named as desired) as a * standard * (not administrator) account and at least one additional account with administrative privileges. Call the extra account 'CompAdmin', 'Tech' or similar.

  2. Enter the new user account once if the profile files are created, and then disconnect and then connect to CompAdmin.

  3. go in Control Panel > system > advanced > user profile > settings

  4. you will see where you can copy user accounts. Copy the misnamed old account to the new name correctly there. Use her browse to select your new account (C:\Users\newaccount). If you don't want to copy all the settings, and then instead simply navigate using the old user, music Explorer Windows Documents, etc. and copy the data to the new user folders.

  5. connect to your new correctly named user account. When you are sure to have what you need, you can delete the misnamed control panel user account > accounts to users if you wish.

  General information about configuring users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. If your normal user account is an administrator, having created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).
