If Windows always logs you in using a temporary profile which happens a lot if you have deployed a virtual machine from a vmWare created template, follow these steps which should resolve the issue.
- Open Registry Editor (regedit)
- Browse to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\
- Find the key that references the username you are having issues with
- Delete the entire key
- reboot
You should not be able to logon and it create a profile. <comments />
