Corrupted user profiles?

I work at a K-12 school.  We have Windows 2003 on our servers and our users run XP SP2.  I seem to get a number of students each week that have issues of not being able to add printers (to the point that "add printer" does not show up when you click on printer - faxes.)  The only solution I have found to date is to have them log out and rename/delete their profile and have them log back in.  Just seems that it is happening to frequent, 3 - 5 students a week.  Not sure if there is some setting I have inappropriate or maybe this is something that just happens.  Hope this makes sense, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

You don't also have the AD accounts checking for a roaming profile? Double click their AD account on the server and check the Account -> Profile area and see if it's blank.

Addihul, not sure if I fully understand what you are saying.  Under the profile of each user there is a path to a folder where I store user profiles.

There may be some validity in what you say, I will build another default template, really can not implement it until next year when I clear all profiles.  This an an assumption on my part.  Thank you
