Hi,
The workstation O/S is Windows 2000 Pro. I have tried the
problems with FAT32 and NTFS formatted hard disk and still
the problem. If your part of the admins group it allows
the profile to work, even if it FAT32 (no permissions you
think), so there are obviously permissions set in the
registry.
Your point about creating new profiles etc and copying my
docs etc is true enough, but is not a good solution - I'm
talking about 100 users.
I need to narrow down what keys in the registry need to be
set. I know they are under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, I may try
setting that user to full control at the root!!
