RE: Moveuser.exe "error 5 - access denied"

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Rich,

Based on my experience, the possibility that the "access denied" was caused
by registry permissions. Especially the permissions on
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\(Problem User
SID)
To verify this, I suggest you use Regmon to monitor the registry key during
the command runs. You may download it from

http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html
