Re: "duplicate" files under Documents and Settings

It sounds like that the user profile is not being unloaded at logoff or
remins locked. Does this happen on a cold reboot (system off, restart
computer,login) or only happenind when using the Log Off Start Menu option
and logging in.

Did you install the User Profile Hive Cleanup tool? UPHClean?

i have a similar problem but not on a new workstation. I have seen it on a
couple pc's but one in particular has done it twice. When the user logs
in,
a duplicate profile is created under documents and settings with the same
name but with a .xyz extension....???

here is what i currently have under doc's and set's
Teller3
Teller3.SSB
Teller3.SSB.000

when this happens, the user calls and says all of their custom
shortcuts(icons) have disappeared, favorites and their email doesn't work,
internet connection wizard comes up...its a real pain in the neck.

i have tried logging in as admin and deleted the new profile but when i
log
in as user again windows or something recreates it.

This is normal and expected behavior. On a newly-joined-to-the-domain PC
if
you logon to the pc first, then to the domain you would end up with two
profiles.
%username%
and
%username%.%userdomain%
Else if you logon to the domain first, then to the pc you would end up
with
%username%
and
%username%.%computername%

After performing a fresh install of W2K Pro and loading a few
applications, I
found the following folders under Documents and Settings:

1) Administrator
2) Administrator.PT109 (PT109 is the name of the computer).

I've seen this occur with user logins but not with the Administrator
login.
I'd greatly appreciate any info as to the cause and resolution of this
occurance.
