On PC "A" I have 5 user profiles and I can't log into any of them. It says
that Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Causes could be a
corrupt local profile. I also get error 0x80040507.

I took out my hard drive from PC "A", and installed it on PC "B". Once in
log into PC "B" I can access the files on hard drive "A", but I want to edit
or delete the profiles so I can put it back on PC "A" and be able to log in.

I tried Control Panel/Users, but I can only access user profiles for PC "B".

Does anyone know how to do that?


Before you pulled the hard drive out of PC "A", did you try booting into Safe
Mode to see if you could logon with any of the 5 user accounts? Did you try to
log on with the built-in Administrator account?

What exactly do you mean by "I also get error 0x80040507". What else did it say
on the screen when this error message was displayed?
