While reinstalling Windows 7 on my new SSD, I decided to move my user profiles to one of my HDDs. I followed this guide:
I ran into the slight hiccup of not being able to log into my account - the seemingly common issue of the User Profile Service failing, as described by M$ here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215.
I did some fiddling with the registry from recovery mode, I don't remember all of them, but under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
I changed; Default
to E:\Default
, ProfilesDirectory
to E:\
,
ProgramData
and Public
to E:\Public
.
Also, within my key in the ProfileList
key, I changed my ProfileImagePath
to E:\Username1
, as well as some other changes I don't remember. Somehow I got my account to work just about fine.
However, I tried to add another account (I also changed their ProfileImagePath
to E:\Username2
), and they can't log in. As soon as they try to log in, they are logged out again.
I followed the suggestions here: Windows 7 automatically logs out when logging in, but even new profiles have the same issues.
How can I fix this?
