THis should be on the SERVER pc right?
No, the Client PC..  unless you are using roaming profiles.
Ok should there not be a setting in group proflie for this?

When I had more computers to and users I dont whant to have to go to each pc to set rights?
Well first change it manually on the one computer and verify that it is a solution.
bah...

I changed it and gave 100% access and still had error.

I then Rebooted server and then rebooted client and now problem is gone?

What rights would you normaly give the users to that fodler? RX only or 100%?
Read and Execute I believe.

I have had the same problem on a Windows 2003 terminal server using a roaming profile stored on another server.  Intermittently the NTuser.DAT file gets locked for some reason on the local terminal server and the user cannot login again with the locally stored profile. Even if the user is logged off you cannot delete the locally stored profile folder.  The only way to resolve it is to reboot terminal server, then the user can login again. Any ideas?
BrendanKing - I think I have the same problem - did you find a solution?

Thanks
Haven't come across a particular solutions for this yet.
We nixed the roaming profiles.  When we set this up. Sorry was dome time ago.

That fixed it for me.
