Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP User Profile describes the configuration for a specific user, including the user’s environment and preference settings. For example, those settings and configuration options specific to the user-such as installed applications, desktop icons, color options, and so forth-are contained in a User Profile. A profile also stores things like your email settings, shortcuts and/or files on your desktop, files cached by MS Internet Explorer, custom screen backgrounds that you use, some application settings, the location of your network home directory, and so forth. To delete your User Profile: • Boot the system up to Windows Safe Mode. • Log in with the native Administrators account. • Right click on My Computer, click on properties. • Click on the advanced tab, then click on the Settings button for User Profiles. • Highlight the profile you wish to delete, click the delete button. • Reboot the system and log in with the user account to rebuild the profile.
