How do I save the user profile in Windows 7
I am trying to set up a Windows 7 laptop for the first time. I keep setting up the desktop, copying over the documents and favorites. Everything is set up for the user. When I reboot the computer, everything is gone. How do I save the profile so it is there the next time the user logs on. The users are from a domain. I did put the user in the local administrators group. This is driving me crazy.
Take a look at this social tech net forum. Should have the solution you are looking for.

I am logged in as the user, which is me. I am a domain administrator. After the third time I put an account in the local administrators group for me. I get everything set up, the desktop, the software etc. When I reboot everything is gone. Also, there is always a new profile for me with .000 - .001 etc.

Also, I have to keep making new connections to the Iseries and all of the data sources.

This did not work. I deleted the profiles under c:\users. There was not a folder in the registry. I logged in and set up a few settings, When I rebooted, all of my settings were gone
Let's make sure that Local Guest group only contains the local Guest account... and nothing more
