Hej<br />
<br />
Log on as administrator. Start Task Manager &gt;&nbsp;Processes &gt;&nbsp;&quot;Tick&quot; the &quot;Show Processes from all users&quot;<br />
Check if that user has any services running !<br />
<br />
If &quot;yes&quot; then close those services, and then try renaming it.

Check if that user has any services running !

If "yes" then close those services, and then try renaming it.

<div>
Used process explorer and couldn't see anything running under the users username. &nbsp;However when i did a search for &quot;c:\Documents and settings\username&quot; it came up with a single adobe process that was running.<br />
<br />
This process didn't have any reference to the user but once i forced teh process to close i was able to rename the users profile<br />
<br />
Thanks very much :)

As an administrator i am trying to recreate a users profile, to fix another issue.<br />
<br />
Normally i would just rename the users profile to &quot;&lt;username&gt;.old&quot; and then reboot and log the user back on. &nbsp;This would force the machine to recreate the profile.<br />
<br />
However when i attempt to rename the folder it comes up as access denied. &nbsp;I've checked permissions, rebooted several times and still no joy<br />
<br />
Any ideas? &nbsp;Windows XP machine running SP3<br />
<br />
Thanks

Renaming user profile, access denied

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
