HELP....Please....Cannot copy a profile to the Default User profile
Hi, I am trying to copy a profile to the Default User profile so that when a new user logs in they get all the preset configurations on their new profile account.
But when I try to copy the profile to the Defaul User profile I receive an error window.
"Failed to set security on the destination profile error access is denied."
I am sure it has something to do with permissions, but I have set from the C: root drive to the following:
Adminstrator (Local) = Full Control
User (Local) = Full Control (Note: this is the account I want to copy to Default User.)
SYSTEM (Local) = Full Control
And I have made sure it applies to subfolders & files.
Now I cannot log into any of the accounts, but it pops up a window saying that
First window pop up
"Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system.
DETAIL - Incorrect function."
Second window pop up
"C:\Document and Settings\User\Desktop is not accessible. Access is denied."
Any ideas how to fix this or am I stuck rebuilding the image from scratch, again?
Thanks for your time.

The question is: how did you trie to copy a profile to the default profile?
ASKER
Right-click "My Computer", select "Properties".
Select "Advanced" tab.
Select " Settings" under User Profiles.
Select the profile and click "Copy To" and select the profile to copy to.
That is how I have always done it, am I doing this wrong?

Well, logging into the Adminstrator account, I don't have the the Task bar available, no Start Menu button, nothing...I have a couple of icons on the desktop, but nothing of value at this point.
When I log into the User account, which has admin rights, I have a taskbar, Start Menu, etc., but no available options...it is empty.
So, I am not sure what to do now.
Any other ideas?

I cannot get to the System Restore option. So, I guess I am stuck rebuilding it.
Sorry, but that is, i think, the best way.
You can trie other options but you may get strange problems.
Succes with rebuilding.

Thanks for all the help. I was able to go to the system restore exe via C:\Windows\System 32\Restore , but it wouldn't let me restore...so off to rebuilding the image again.
Thanks again for all the suggestions.
