When logging into the Windows 2000 computer there is an User
Environment
window pops up with the message "Windows cannot log you on because the
profile cannot be loaded. Detail - The system cannot find the file
specified." When the computer is restarted, you are able to log into
Windows
2000 fine. This does not happen to our Windows XP machines.

Event View:
Event ID: 1000
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the
default profile for the system.
DETAIL - The system cannot find the file specified.


This is not a question about Win2000 vs. WinXP but a question
about your profile folders. Try renaming one of the profile folders
that cannot be loaded in order to force Windows to create a new
folder.




It only happens on Windows 2000 and it is not an issue with Windows XP. I
renamed the profile folder and created a new one. When I log off and log
back
in I get the same error. This is happening to other Windows 2000
computers.

This may be happening on your Win2000 PCs but it is not
a peculiarity of Win2000 in general. If this was my show then
I would rebuild one of these machines, then add the various
site-specific applications and customisations until I found the
agent responsible for this behaviour.
