Why under "user profile", I have 4 profiles named 'unknown profile '.

I have two user accounts on my computer that I put in place. One is an administrator account and the other is a standard account, which is one we use mainly. In user profiles are displayed both and I guess a third profile for the built in Administrator account. In addition to these 3, there are four different user profiles entitled 'unknown profile '. There could be a reason, they are there, maybe someone can tell me. It is not just that windows would create profiles and do not know whence they came. Is this a problem. If I do not need these 4 unknown profiles, I would like to remove them but it's hard when I don't know what they are

Ron, welcome to the forum.

If you got to know that they are not necessary, I suggest log you in as administrator to remove.  I don't know that they will never cause problems, but who knows.  Everything that is not necessary on a computer shouldn't be there.

  • The logon user profile Service service failed

    Hello

    I have a Compaq presarion c500 c555em equipped with windows vista and for the last week, I was unable to connect. After the startup logon page appears with the only newspaper on my user profile option. When I enter my password correctly, a message appears to indicate:

    The user profile Service service has no logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

    Looking at other posts, it seems to be a fix from Microsoft to this problem. However I can't access the internet in safe mode, and when I try to run the fix from a memory stick it does not open the fix.

    If I run the F11 key, I automatically lose everything on my c drive (ie the restore to factory settings) or that it will be possible to restore for some time before this error occurred? If so, could you give simple instructions on how to make or give a cross reference to where I can find this information. My apologies so simple, but I'm really bad with computers

  • User profile folders that are created on the login server?

    All went to watch the C:\Users folder on my server to connect internal and noticed there are profiles it for all of my users.

No idea why the user profile folders created on the VCS?

    I had this same problem with my login server. I had about 30 users on one of them and less than 10 on the other. I couldn't find any reason to make it, so I ended up opening a case of low priority with VMware Support. They have found the answer:

    Found the answer for you: it seems that users who require a change of password and change it as they connect to their desktop to view create a user profile on the login server

    Thinking about it some more, this organizations probably affects the only running the customer view as a replacement for Explorer shell (do us), effectively replace normal windows authentication. So basically, when a password is about to expire, the only interface that they need to change it is through the Client view. Apparently this changes the mechanism eventually create an empty profile on windows server itself?

  • Why Windows Vista does not load user profile?

    When logging on it says unable to load the user profile, but the profile is there when I log in Administrator account, how do I recognize my account that I used to use? Everything worked fine until I went to reboot my Dell Vosstro 220, running Vista SP2 with all latest updates... He went to the Startup Repair, and after awhile, I was dirrected to restart the computer. When it restarted, it went to a temporary user profile named after one it starts normally, but there was 3-0 and temp after the profile. So the desktop icon were almost all gone and when you run a temp profile nothing is saved in it when you use... I've logged on to the administrator account and under C:\computer\users my account, I used to use with 2 temporary accounts. One was exactly like my normal account (mountain), but with temp000 after her. I went to Microsoft Answers and he said to go to regedit and find the profiles under machine\software\microsoft \windows NT\profiles and change the name of the supposely accounts 2 so it would not load the Temp account. I followed the instructions to a T and everything is OK except that now it does not load the Temp file, it just says: windows could not load the user profile. I have to hit Control, Alt, delete to bring up the Task Manager and then type Administrator and password that works very well. When I click on administrator, it displays the screen with all that on the computer. MountainMan used to be there under administrator, but he disappeared. If I go down to users in a subcatigory under computer and users it lists all of the accounts that I should be able to access. All the information is there, it doesn't seem right to see as an account profle to load up. I've always had it set to start on MountainMan account without password. Now it takes forever to load the administrator account. It must also be typed in each time instead of remember accounts. How can I get MountainMan load again? The info is there, but he doesn't seem to know the location more. Even when I type in MountainMan it just says unable to load the user profile. I don't know if typing in the name of the account is the same problem or if I have 2 problems. I appriciate any help to correct this situation. Also just FYI, I deleted temporary files after changing names, in which case they were confusing.

    Hi James,

    1. When you created a new user account, have you configured it as an administrator?

    2. When you connect to the old user profile you are able to view your data?

  • Why should I create a new user profile when you remove a damaged user account?

    I have a corrupted user account and was referred to the following link http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    However, I don't understand why we're required to go through this complicated process when we go to Control Panel - user accounts and family safety-user accounts - add and remove accounts delete user accounts until you can actually remove an account asks you if you want to keep the files of this account.  It is said that it can automatically save the contents of this user account office and favorite Documents, music, photos and videos in a new folder on the desktop.  I realize, this does not include e-mail messages, but I thought I could export those to a memory stick and then import them into my new user account.  It all seems a much simpler process than to create a new profile.  Why Microsoft suggests must create a new profile?

    Let me soce entry details:

    1. all computers need to have at least one administrator account. It will not work without it.
    It does NOT, however, create a profile For YOU defaultAdmin. It belongs to the user or the owner to create and decide who is Admin, and who is a regular user.
    2. even an admin account will not get to install and change the settings automatically. UAC (user account control) always appears to ask for confirmation of the task by clicking on continue, or by typing the admin password.
    3 be the main user is not to be an administrator. It is up to the user/owner of the computer to be configured as such.
    That said, now my question... How do you know that you're not an admin?

  • HotSync Manager does not have the Show user profile which is in Palm Desktop - badly conducted.

    I am running Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on my laptop XP Home Edition SP3

    I found that when I hotsynced many my Palm brand programs have not been not sync.

    Looking at my Palm Desktop, I found the users 'user' and a user profile. The user has no data inside (no contact etc..) Profile has my contacts and calendar etc.

    By selecting 'custom' hotsync manager is initially a field empty user with lines listed below.

    By clicking the user field concludes that 'user' but not the user profile that displays in Palm Desktop.

    In addition, the lines show items that have been uninstalled from the E2, six months ago.

    In Palm Desktop, if I select the 'user' tab up hotsync user allows a selection of "Custom" and "File Link". Slideshows custom the same incorrect lines as the custom in Hotsync manager.

    If I select the profile of the user on the ground "Custom" and file link are whitewashed and don't allow selection.

    When I hotsync my Palm applications to my my Palm desktop user profile backs up.

    I uninstalled my office palm of the laptop and reinstalled but it keeps picking up the same bad ducts and does not pick up the user's profile.

    I went to Vista laptop that I have access to and what he was able to successfully back up but I need what he is saved on my XP laptop.

    Looks like you need to do a clean tear and a relocation of the desktop on the XP machine. Uninstall the software and remove the PalmOne under Program Files folder. Then reinstall.
