Problem with XP's profiles

[Sharon]

Four profiles on this computer, and *one* randomly resets
itself to default settings. Suddenly all files in MyDocs
are missing; icons are gone; background is default. This
seems to be unprovoked. Virus scans come up with
nothing. It has happened at least three times now, and is
getting rather irritating. Any ideas? Thanks!

I seem to remember this one having something to do with the desktop.ini
file - There is a fix for the icons part of it at any rate.try this:
