hi..
Here are some tips to clear user local profile via registry, but first make sure you have full administrator to do command…back up your registry if have to..
Press on Start > Run >Regedit
Navigate to the following registry key :“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList”
Under ProfileList navigate to binary key’s like this :S-1-5-21-3656904587-1668747452-4095529-500
On the right side under ProfileImagePath you’ll see the username and profile path.
Chose the one with the desired user and delete the long reg key like :“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList”
hope this works for you…if not you can download program that manages user profiles, follow link if necessary… can manage this by command line, if not mistaken, but its trial/paid software.
