[RESOLVED] User Profiles

[drivenbywhat]

I came across this annoyance when testing out new users on my pc. First of all, I only use 1 account on my pc. It is the admin account. Yes, the real admin account not another account under the admin group. I also user winxp pro sp3 in a workgroup.

Here is the thing. I created a user account named test1. I log in as that user and the folder for that user is created under docs & sets. Everything is fine. Here is the annoyance. If I go to system properties > advanced > user profiles, then I get a window showing me the profiles on my pc. The profiles listed are mine (the admin acct renamed to unlimited), test1 & account unknown. I have no idea why this account unknown is created. If I remove it, then when I log in as test1, then windows sets up the profile all over again (you know when it sets setting up user settings when you log on for the first time). If I remove test1, then all I get under that window is my admin account. Nothing else shows up.

So, if I create any user accounts there will be an "account unknown" in the profiles under system properties. Can anyone test this out for me? Is this a windows glitch or what? I've attached the pic of this window. Note, this is after I create an account and log in with it. If I only have the admin account, all that shows up in this pic is that admin account.

No one has an answer for me?

Do you only get 1 Unknown account?

Say you create Test 1 Test 2 and Test 3. Do you get 3 unknown accounts?

Well I can't recreate the problem anymore. The unknown account doesn't show up anymore. To answer your question, it was only 1 unknown account that would show up regardless of how many new ones were created.
