No. There is only one user profile for that user under c:\documents and settings. I checked both under My Computer →Properties →Advanced →User Profiles and c:\documents and settings.
There are a couple pre-domain accounts, including the “owner” and the local admin account, but as best I can see she’s not using the old pre-domain accounts when she logs in as a non-admin. John-AldrichTile-Tools From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2009 3:17 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Wierd network printer issue I would guess she does in fact have two different profiles. What do you see in the "Documents and Settings" folder? Similar names, but one has an extension? That is, "PrinterUser" and "PrinterUser.001"? If this is the case, then she: 1. is using a completely different NTUSER.DAT file 2. being a non-administrator, is not allowed to make connections to printers I would: 1. backup both profile folders 2. try to figure out which is the "older", "correct" profile (the one with the printer) 3. rename the NTUSER.DAT file in the incorrect folder (NTUSER.BAK), then copy the NTUSER.DAT file into that folder 4. Make sure she has full permissions to all files and folders in that directory folder -- Richard D. McClary Systems Administrator, Information Technology Group ASPCA(r) 1717 S.
