FIX CORRUPT WINDOWS7 TEMPORARY PROFILE

Solutions:

While working with Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system over the past few months I have noticed that sometimes when working with multiple profiles that they can sometimes get corrupted. The error I would receive says that “You are logged into a Temporary Profile.” This means that anything that user would do under that profile would get wiped immediately upon logging off. This problem seems to happen more frequently when it is a member of a domain. This will show you how to fix the profile error in Windows 7 without having to simply wipe the profile. This can come in very handy sometimes and has saved me hours of backing up and transferring profile data.

STEP 1

Restart your PC to release the locks on your profiles.

STEP 2

Log on with another administrative account.

STEP 3

Delete the following folder: (you could also follow the steps below by simply renaming the bad profile to .bak)

1	C:\Users\%username%

STEP 4

Delete the following folder:

1	C:\Users\TEMP

STEP 5

Browse to

1	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Find the registry key that has the “ProfileImagePath” entry that matches the username of the account.
Make a note of the GUID entry a few lines above, you will need this later. Now delete the entire registry key from the “ProfileList” folder.

STEP 6

Now in the registry, browse one folder above to

1	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileGuid

Delete the registry key (that matches the GUID you made note of in Step 5) from the folder.

STEP 7

Restart once again and then you’re done!
