Re: User Account Suddenly Unaccessable

We're getting one step closer to our goal. Here is what your reply is
telling me:
- You have two relevant profile folders:
* "c:\Documents and Settings\cwlee"
* "c:\Documents and Settings\cwlee.System-3"
- "Users" (as opposed to "Administrators") have only read-access
to these folders.
- My previous instructions to modify these permissions appear
to have failed.

The next step consists of setting appropriate permissions once more,
this time with a batch file in order to avoid typographical errors.
Following the previously issued instructions, I would like you to
create the batch file c:\Lee2.bat. It should have the following lines:
@echo off
set prof=c:\Documents and Settings
set cryp=Application Data\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache
net user > c:\test.txt
cacls "%prof%\cwlee" /e /t /r Users 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
cacls "%prof%\cwlee.System-3" /e /t /r Users 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
cacls "%prof%\cwlee" /e /t /g CWLee:F 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
cacls "%prof%\cwlee.System-3" /e /t /g CWLee:F 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
cacls "%prof%\cwlee\%cryp%" >> c:\test.txt
cacls "%prof%\cwlee.System-3\%cryp%" >> c:\test.txt
notepad c:\test.txt

And here are the overall steps:
1. Reboot the machine.
2. Log on as Administrator.
3. Create c:\Lee2.bat
4. Run c:\Lee2.bat. It will show you the contents of c:\test.txt when
finished.
5. Paste some of the contents of c:\test.txt into your reply. Cut out the
repetitive stuff - I'm interested in the first few lines and the error
messages, if any.
6. Reboot the machine.
7. Log on as CWLee.
8. Click Start / Run
9. Type the three letters cmd
10. Click the OK button
11. Type this command and press Enter:
set user
12. Report the value of "Userprofile".

I followed your original set of 12 instructions, changing #10 to show the
same wording after the c:\ in both cases now being Lee.bat

This time the process seemed to proceed, and I have shown below, between
lines of ^^^ symbols, what came up on Notepad. (It looked much neater,
and easier to read, on my wider screen than it does below, because of the
narrower margins here.)
