Re: User Account Suddenly Unaccessable

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance


It appears that we're running round in circles, without making any real
progress. This is probably because I'm not aware of some peculiarity on your
machine. I see these options for you:
a) You live with the problem.
b) You reload Windows, allowing the disk to be formatted in the process.
c) You start a new thread in an attempt to attract some other respondent's
attention who may be able to resolve your problem.
c) You give me direct access to your machine so that I can see things with
my own eyes.

Option d) is conditional to the machine having access to the Internet. If
you're interested in discussing this option further, drop a line to

Sorry for not being able to resolve this issue in the normal way.

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.)
