In the case where you have deleted the user account from the local computer without using the advanced profiles setting, you will need to remove the registry entries for the user account before logging back on. This must be done by an administrator. A visual sign that this needs to be done can be the message that you have been logged on with a tempoary profile each time you log on.
- Log onto the computer as a local administrator.
- Open the registry by typing regedit in the start window.
- Locate the following registry key path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Find the profileimagepath containing the user you wish to delete and delete the entire key.
Log off the computer as admin and back on as the user you are trying to fix. Log off immediately and then log back on again in order to create the profile and synchronize the profile properly.
