Way To Disable User Profiles

Aug 5, 2005

Lots of schools need to run one desktop for all users. Not a standard default user template. But to actually disable user profiles like you could in windows 98. With 2600 users xp takes to long to login when it has to create a profile each time because we use a security program that freezes the desktop and dismisses any changes to the c: once rebooted.Does anyone know of a way to disable user profiles or assign a profile where
everyone uses it and a new local one is not created

User Profiles Will Not Load

Dec 19, 2004

Does anyone know why, when I click a user name, I get an error message "windows can not load users profile settings. But will load default settings because the file is being used by another process"? Was recieving error message about virt mem last week. Couldn't increase paging file (maxed-384mb). But, changed settings to 1000/1000 max/min to stop virt mem message. Now, I'm the only one who can log on without the computer freezing and that's the message I get. I'm the administrator. The default settings are set to my daughters user name. My user name is password protected and my family all use the computer. We only use it for surfing-email and IMing. Don't run many programs. Why is my memory being used up? Ran adaware, SpyBot. Have Spyware Blaster.Mcafee firewall/virus protection. All clean.

Home User Profiles

I'm using XP Home edition and have set up user profiles with passwords. They at one point they were able to log onto the Internet from their accounts. Now they are unable to access anything other than their own documents. Any ideas what happened and how to fix this? The virus software is up to date and the scanner runs clean, although the sytem overall seems slower.

Removing User Profiles - Consolidate Into Just One

Oct 16, 2006

A friend is running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. They currently have 4 Windows XP user profiles setup. They want to remove 3 of the profiles and consolidate into just one. Is it just a matter of going to Control Panel and removing the other three profiles or is there more to it than that?

Migrated User Profiles Not Applied

Aug 1, 2005

I recently migrated numerous user profiles from XP SP2 workstations in an NT domain to new XP SP2 desktops in an SBS 2003 domain. The original workstations were formatted FAT32. The new workstations are NTFS.I logged on to the old workstations as the Domain Admin and copied the user profiles on each machine to the server. I then deployed the new system, logged on as the users to create the folder structure, then logged on as the Domain Admin, and overwrote the new local profiles with the copies stored on the server. When logging on as the user without local admin rights, none of the users settings were applied. If the user was made a local admin,then the correct settings were applied.I checked permissions and ownership of the files in the profiles. I had to assign ownership of the files to the user as the domain administrator was listed as owner. The permissions were correct

Power Schemes Across User Profiles

Apr 5, 2005

How do you copy power schemes for one profile (the Admin or Setup profile) across all profiles that log on to that machine. Users are created in the standard folders under documents and settings, however their windows settings seem to be setup via some sort of profile creation script that windows uses. I have tried copying profile information from the setup profile to default and all users profiles... but it seems to make no difference. What I am looking to do is to keep all users profiles constantly ON, instead of standby after 20 min without changing each profile each time a new one is created.

Multiple User Profiles Effecting The System

Apr 19, 2007

We are running windows XP SP2 on a large domain. We have recently had several users login in that are somehow getting new profiles. This seems to be affecting only the XP machines. Roaming profiles are not being used. We have been editing the registry and repointing to their original profiles, deleting the newly created profiles and this returns their original desktop and solves the problem temporarily, but it continues to happen.

User Profiles Being Renamed To Include Computer Name

Aug 29, 2005

I recently had to do a system recovery on WinXP, and when it was complete, it had renamed all my user profiles to: [USERNAME].[Computer Name] rather than just username.IE: C:Docume~1JohnDoe.My_Computer instead of C:Docume~1JohnDoe
Unfortunately, all my settings, documents, financial files, etc are located under the original JohnDoe folder (still present).How can I redirect the JohnDoe log-in to look at the JohnDoe folder rather than JohnDoe.My_Computer?(side note, I set up my computer to share, and when I put in the computer name, I spelled it slightly different than the original. I have changed it back to the original spelling, but with no success. I have also deleted the new folder, just to have it recreated at log in!)

Cannot Login To XP / Profiles Don't Show Up

Aug 10, 2009

Since yesterday, my computer is not showing the user profiles and I am not able to log-in to my Win XP laptop. I tried loggin into the 'safe mode' or 'last saved configuration' but both of them also stop at the page where the user profiles show up. Probably, my user profiles got corrupted or something. Is there any easy way to log-in into the laptop and create new user profile? Otherwise, I will try repairing the O.S or installing a second O.S and backing up the data before re-formatting everything.

Sets Up Temp Profiles On Startup

Feb 15, 2010

When starting laptop, message appears saying cannot open user profile - Windows then insists on setting up a temp profile and (coincidentally ?) machine runs painfully slowly for about an hour. All original profile files and documents are visible using "explore" but each time machine is started a new temp profile is created. Have run C Cleaner, Disk Cleanup etc to try and sort out slow running (which seems to fix itself after some time) but the profile glitch is a pain

Lock Down Profiles In WZC - Disable Uninstall Of Program

Aug 14, 2007

Is it possible to lock down a profile in WZC (Windows Wireless)? I am a network administrator and I would like to lock the company's wireless profile to the top of the list, and to prevent deletion or editing. The computers are on a domain fyi, and they must still have administrator rights.

Is it possible to disable the uninstallation of a program? I need to disable the uninstallation of a software that our company needs, while still allowing users to have administrator rights. Again, these computers are on a domain, and the user has a administrator account. Is it possible to change program uninstallation rights to only allow the domain administrator to uninstall the program? Or is it possible to edit the registry or something? I only need the restriction to this program.

Open Regedit Or The Task Manager To View Users Profiles?

Sep 7, 2005

In addition, Adobe reader is viewable in administrator profile, but will not open as the local power user. This is a non-networked computer, so everything is installed locally. I went to give the user full control of the Adobe folder, but the Security tab is not available or an option, even in the administrator profile. Rebooted, same issue. Logged in thru PC Anywhere, same issue, for both.

Find Or Bypass Limited User Password W/out Reset Or Adjust User Screensaver?

Dec 27, 2005

For security reasons, Microsoft does not allow parents (computer administrators) to check on, maintain, adjust or otherwise enter their kids' (limited users) XP profiles without either resetting their passwords or waiting for them to come home and being confrontational about it.Ideally I would like to be able to log on to a limited user account from my administrator account without tampering with anyone's passwords-resetting them or otherwise. Actually, I have little interest in the (step) kids' personal life and stuff. Alternately, perhaps you may help me with my ultimate goal: limiting screensaver activity:
