Windows login - blank desktop

[Mike]

I have several users who recieve no desktop or task bar
when logging into windows 2000 machines. After trying the
MS knowledge base article - 256194, I am still
experiencing the issue. The users have poweruser
permissions on the workstation. The Desktop and taskbar
appear normal when a local admin logs in. My temporary
fix is to give local admin rights to the users
experiencing the issue. This is not a good long term
solution. Any ideas? thanks

Hello,

Because there is no problem with a local admin logs in, check the the
security rights assignment for profile permissions and "critical"
folders like winnt, documents and settings.
