user profile troubles


Recommended Posts

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...5BLN%5D;Q319974

First of all... I have played with renaming folders a bit to try to get this to work correctly... so if the steps I describe don't make perfect sense for my results, I'm sorry. I expect those who are able to help me will know what's going on regardless.

I followed the article... simple instructions to create a default user profile (profile template username was "Create"). I then created several new profiles based on the new custom default profile. I think what I did with renaming folders was logged in as each new user and had to change "Create's Documents" to "My Documents". But when I browse someone else's profile in "Documents and Settings", their my documents folder is called "Create's Documents". But when I log in as that user, it is "My Documents". I hope you follow.

How do I get it to act like it is supposed to? I need to get rid of the traces of this user "Create" and replace them with the respective usernames. "Create" has to be stored in the registry and/or in the default user profile's directory somewhere. How do I get rid of it? I should have named it something other than "create" so I could more easily search the registry.

I don't want to have to delete all these user accounts and restore the original default profile and create new ones and set them all up individually. Besides... I am a student IT worker and an e-business major and would like to know how to work with profiles and the registry. Would I learn all about this kind of thing if I took a Microsoft Windows course of some kind?

Well, thanks for the help.
