Problem :

When a user logs into their computer they receive the following error, “Your user profile was not loaded correctly! You have been logged on with a temporary profile.”  Or the user logs in and is missing all there documents and there is a TEMP profile in the “Documents and Settings” folder.

Solution:

  <ol>
    <li>
      Check what profile you are logged in as by going to Start > Run. Type %userprofile%, this will open the My Documents folder for whatever profile you are logged in as.
    </li>
    <li>
      Once you have confirmed the profile, go back to Start and click Run. Type regedit and click OK.
    </li>
    <li>
      Navigate through the registry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.
    </li>
    <li>
      Delete the TEMP account subkey by looking in each at the the ProfileImagePath.
    </li>
    <li>
      Once deleted reboot and log in again, the user should now be able to view their own profile and documents.
    </li>
  </ol>
