A profile called "Teachers" that works but does not exist under "Dokuments and Settings"
Why does the profile "Teachers" not exist under "Documents and Settings"? And yet it does exist under "Users and Passwords"
And the reverse. The profile "Students" exists under "Doc and Settings" but not under "Users and Passwords".
They both appear to be the same account. Well they are because they have the same contents in My Documents.
Is this in any way linked to the use of Ghost, sysprep and changing the SIDS?
How should I fix this?

Good idea Julian I did that.
The student profile was there, but not the teachers.
I also noticed that the active profile is indicated in the "RefCount" key, which shows up as 0x1, instead of just 0 when not in use.
Then I went back to the Users and Passwords dialog, clicked Properties on the "Teachers" profile and noticed how easy it was to alter the name there. So I changed it to "Fred". Then logged on as Fred. Low and behold, the "Student" profile became active again under the registry.
Now I understand. the other guy here has changed the profile name under "Users and Password" But that change has not filtered through to the whole profile, the folder names under Documents and Settings.
Seems a bit odd to me. How do you change the profile name then? You can't. You have to copy it and then give the copy a new name.
