I can't edit a profile a one user because it is still avaiable.check if the user is correct logged of .Please can someone help me ?

Hi, are you using Windows SteadyState on Windows XP? If this is the case, I suggest you use the following tool and see the result:User Profile Hive Cleanup Servicehttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=1b286e6d-8912-4e18-b570-42470e2f3582 Overview The User Profile Hive Cleanup service helps to ensure user sessions are completely terminated when a user logs off. System processes and applications occasionally maintain connections to registry keys in the user profile after a user logs off. In those cases the user session is prevented from completely ending. This can result in problems when using Roaming User Profiles in a server environment or when using locked profiles as implemented through the Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP.Hope this helps!Sean Zhu - MSFT

Thanks Sean Zhu for your tool.It seem to be working. But when i change the option : Made no changes in advanced register settings of explorer.Close SS , reboot system, automatticaly log on with operator, log of, log on with administrator.It doesnt work again.Do i have to use the tool every time when i do a reboot ?Do you have an explanation for this ?I Use windows XP prof.Log on automatically with option control userpasswords2.Yours sincerely,RENIE

Hi Renie, what if you disable the restriction "made no changes in advanced register settings of explorer" and use Windows Disk Protection instead? Does the issue still occur?Sean Zhu - MSFT

Hi Sean,Tihis option is not possible.When i make the change and reboot the system the error occured in startscreen :Can't copy the file c:\documents and settings\operator.orig\menu start to the file c:\documents and settings\operator\menu start.Operator is auser account and not admin account.He cant make or open files in menu start.Renie
