Cannot Create Temporary Profile
Jan 8, 2006
I just booted up my HP NC6120 laptop (Win XP Pro, 512MB RAM, plent of free HDD space, etc.) to which I have administrator rights and went to log in with my normal username/password, but I get three error messages. The first one says something to the effect "cannot create temporary profile. may be caused by insufficient rights." I then have to click ok or it times out in 30 secs or something like that.After that window closes another opens saying something like "cannot load profile. logged on with default profile". Windows then appears to be loading, but I get a blank light blue screen with only a blank window w/ red error 'x' on it and nothing else. I click ok, it says it's logging me off. I am able to log into Safe Mode (typing from there now). Everything in my docments folders are still there, etc. So I created a new user account with admin rights, but get the same error messages when tring to log in normally (not via safe mode).

I need to create a user profile on my XP Media Machine I've created one.But was wondering if there's a way I can limit what they do on it? Such as not allowing them to download anything? I'm new to XP and need to have a way to control the other user on my machine.

At my job we have about 500 networked users on WinXP 32 bit. Each user has an individual log in - there are no roaming profiles. We're in the process of creating a new image andI'm having a disagreement with a new tech here. He says we should get rid of the Default User Profile and only use the All Users Profile. Every time I've created an image I've set up the image the way I want and then copied that over to the default profile - so that when new users log in - they see exactly what i've set up in terms of the standard desktop shortcuts we use. This new tech thinks the default user's profile redundant and not really needed. I'm having a hard time finding information the default users profile and if it's needed or not.

I have a corrupt user profile. A program would not work (Avery DesignPro 3.5) and their support told me to create a new user profile.I did, and the program works under the new profile. The problem is that nothing that I use all the time is under the new profile. How can I uncorrupt my regular user profile, or do I need to switch back and forth when I want to use that program?

I had a user account, However, for some reason, I have done something wrong and reboot the machine, that user account had gone, only Administrator is left. Then I created an account with the same name: John Smith. I noted under the Documents and Settings, there are 2 John Smith, they are: 1)John Smith and 2)John Smith.JS I think the first one is the original one because the date modified was a couple of months ago. The second one is the one that I just created.Can I recover my original one ?

Windows XP Pro Temporary files, which are usually created in my local temp folder (C:/Documents and Settings/my files/Local Settings/Temp) have suddenly moved location to WINDOWS/Temp. Nothing is created in any users' temp folders, all temp files are now dumped into the WINDOWS/Temp folder.
At the same time, Carbonite stopped working, and I now get error messages that Carbonites Secure Backup Communications Service has failed. Of course, these two may not be related, and Carbonite support are helping me to sort out the problem with their program - but it may be a clue? The only other changes made in the same period this problem with the Temp folder happened was an automatic upgrade of Thunderbird and an upgrade of Adobe Flash Player. Everything else seems to be functioning correctly on my computer. Has anyone an explanation as to why this happened and does it matter?

When I copy to a CD it states files were copied to a temporary file folder. However, that folder no longer appears for me as it did previously. I had this problem earlier and received helpful resolution at this site but can no longer find my previous post.

I just need a clarification. Are there any temporary files on a computer that need to be kept. I remember doing research on the topic many years ago and I could have swore there are some applications that actually require a tmp file (most likely created by itself) to function. I'm just wondering because a TS guy told me that it was quite alright to issue the following command from a command prompt.

I read online that sometimes deleting the temporary folder can speed up outlook express. I've already done this in IE, but not on the computer. I believe to get to the folder you Run > %temp% The files said that their is a cleanup utility in XP that can help to clear this folder. I looked on my computer and searched online, but can't find the information on how to get it.

I only wanted to keep 3 or 4 fonts on my computer so I drag n dropped my Fonts folder to my D drive (CD burner). I decided not to do this after all and figured I'd delete the temporary folder from my D drive but it will not remove 2 of the fonts: arialbi and micross, so now I'm stuck with a temporary folder in my D drive. I booted up in safe mode and tried to delete them and can't do it that way, either. How do I get rid of this temporary folder?

I play a certain game online, and I have dial-up, so 5MB every time I play takes more than long enough to download. I can get to the Temporary folder via the browser options menu, but there's no way to drag files into that folder in case they get deleted. So I was wondering if there is a program or something I can use to prevent certain files form getting deleted.

Temporary internet file is set to Zero and i can't change it. I slide the bar around and the box with MB beside it doesn't seem to repond. This is allowing me not to g on certain sites and i can't use the history thing. i set the history to 3 days but none is showing up. This is all the the Temporary Internet File Settings under Tools. When ever I click the OK button regardless of my setting it says: Please select a value between 1 and 0 on how much disk space temporary file may use.

Why does the Temporary Internet Folder split into four subfolders? Why are the folders randomly named? Is there any way I can stop this altogether?

Windows XP media Center seems to be completely hiding folders from me. When I untick "Hide protected operating system files and folders" then right click properties my Temporary internet file folder, it says there's 71 folders within it. I can't see ANY of these folders in my browser. If I boot up my other OS (Win XP 64 bit) I can view these folders just fine. Furthermore, within media center edition, I can access Temporary Internet FilesContent.IE5 if I type it in manually, and can see 68 folders within.
Now, why would Media center be hiding Content.IE5 when supposedly I have display EVERYTHING turned on? I fear a malicious program may be doing this. An OS reinstall isn't a big deal for me, but I'd rather not.

By default Internet Explorer stores a user’s temporary internet files within a user profile typically located under C:Users or C:Documents and Settings. This setting can be easily be changed within Internet Explorer. Configuring Temporary Internet Files in Internet Explorer: When Internet Explorer is open, click on Tools and then select Internet Options. On the General tab, under Browsing history, click the Settings button. Click Move folder. Then select the new drive and folder you want to use and click OK to exit the property pages.

Just wondered if someone could help me, when I receive an attachment in OUtlook - e.g. word / excel doco. If I save this without saving as - it goes into my Temporary Internet Folder, which is really hard to try and find. I'm currently doing this via C:Documents and SettingsusernameLocal SettingsTemporary Internet Files in my favourites - but if I just enter that in manually it comes up with Cookies / IE information that I'm not requiring.

My Temporary internet folder is out on my desktop as I use it quite frequently. This has been the case for years and it has worked flawlessly. Recently when I open it I get a message, "This page has an unspecified potential security flaw, would you like to continue?". When I click "OK" the Temp folder opens normally. This happens even when the folder is empty. Its annoying to have to keep doing this. My Internet Explorer security settings are quite low, and haven't been changed for ages, well before this message started appearing. I've cleared the caches and index.dat files, run AVG virus checker, SpybotS&D, and all sorts of other cleaning/security stuff but to no avail.
