Why does temp profile load when users logs on?
I have a reception area and at the lunch break the users exchange work stations. When they log onto there "changed" stations they create temp profiles. I am told that they are shuttingthe computers off before they move. I cannot confirm this. The result is that none of the Icons that run their EMR or Web short cuts area accessible even when loaded into the "All users: profile

If you dont have romaing profiles then the local profile on that/those machines for that user may be bad. Log on as an admin to tha machine or get to the machine through the admin share
\\name\c$ then go to documents and settings and rename the user profile having issues
to something like username.old then have that user log on again and see if it rebuilds a profile

The issue seems to be happeining local to a pair of machines. I asked the users to shut down at lunch and have them re-boot to make certain that the old profiles were terminated. This worked for the short term. Also I will check the wires to see there is any shorting or corruption.
FYI - we are not using roaming profiles. Very small office and I have already cleaned out old profiles and logged on to create these new ones. The pair of boxes had over 30 profiles created between them.
So I will get these things done and then accept the answers.

Normally - if the user logs out from the temp profile, then logs back in - the normal profile takes over - and the customised functions you have set up will run.
This could be a hardware issue - if this is happening to one computer a lot (network card might need replacing) - or multiple clients - the infrastructure might be at fault (at the worst - unlikely if your network is working okay) - or just a lack of bandwidth - perhaps lots of users logging on and/or off at the same time...
