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.
