While you are correct on the point of creating a new user in style, it is still important to find a solution to corrupted profile creation. Consider: User logs in using an NT system. The *cough* idiot downloads an infected email, or better yet, just found this nifty program called regedit. When the user logs off, this corrupted registry information is saved to the PDC. I get a complaint a few hours later that the user can't log in again. The obvious fix is to back up his/her profile info and then delete it. Next time the user logs on, the profile is recreated (without reg errors). Then all I have to do is copy over the users favorites, My Documents, etc.
