I am trying to add a new user. All goes well until login and then it says it
could not find the users profile and logs in with a default profile. With the
default profile I am unable to change the desktop. The start menu is very
sparse and IE always reverts to the MSN web site and I can't get it to go to
any other sites or change the home page. The other 3 accounts on this machine
work fine. I have tried this 3 times with the same result each time. Any
ideas?????

Copy one of the working accounts to the defective user profile.
