Deleting Profiles

Profiles can get corrupted and at this time the problem may only be on the PC/Laptop in question. The profile on the server may be fine.

Make sure that you save any files that may only be on this PC to the server.
Make sure that no one else on the network is logged on to their computer as the profile you are having problems with.

At this point we need to delete the profile on the PC/Laptop and re-logon as the desired user.
The Computer needs to be shut down and restarted before you can do this.

Restart the PC and logon as the Administrator for the local PC (Not as a user on the network domain).
Click on Start
Right Click on My Computer & Click on properties
