Re: Roaming Profile stopped working

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks for that. I tried it but it did not cure the problem.

I now have another profile 'sameusername.domain' under documents and
settings. I copied all of my files across and tried again with no success.

If I log onto any other PC with this username it updates the users\username
folder correctly.

Could there be anything else on the PC causing the problem - i.e. a file in
application settings or local settings since I have copied all files over?

Thanks,

Arnie

Hi,

I had roaming a profile on my account and then removed it. Recently I
tried to enable roaming profiles on my account again but it doesn't work.

This problem is specific to the one PC (my laptop) so it may be a
registry setting?

Windows 2003 Domain -- XP Professional PC

When I log in it creates my personal folder under the 'users' share but
it does not copy any files or settings. It used to work fine when I last
had roaming profiles setup.

Maybe of help also; after I stopped having roaming profiles in use the
first time I noticed that my frequently used programs on the start menu
were no longer changing either.

Has anyone seen this before?

Many thanks,

Arnie Dapiss

take a look in the registry under
HKLM\software\microsoft\windowsnt\currentversion\profilelist\

under there you will see a list of profile settings for each user who ever
logged in represented by that user GUID

under there you can find where your profile is pointing to
sometimes this points to a local copy
just remove the GUID tree and log in again
offcourse you cannot cut the tree you are sitting on, if you know what I
mean

grtz
