Hi,<br />
<br />
I deleted a user profile via Control Panel - System etc., but yet when I boot up the box, the user appears as default logon with an error saying invalid password. I have to switch user to login.<br />
<br />
It appears during boot up only that the registry is holding onto the profile and using it as default logon. The error msg must be old too. <br />
<br />
I also checked in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi<wbr />ndows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileL<wbr />ist. and the profile is not there. <br />
<br />
However, I did find an entry in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi<wbr />ndows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon<wbr /> under property DefaultUserName.<br />
<br />
Can someone help me to remove this user profile completely?<br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />
