I yesterday noted the same when I resetted an user's profile on an NT4 Workstation machine. Today, again. Difference is that here it shows up on the desktop instead of in the profile map (C:\WINNT\Profiles\<user>\Desktop). I logged into the machine as administrator to delete the locally stored profile after doing the same on the server. This was due to incidents with corrupted user profiles, of which i am still researching the cause. Anyone else been seeing this besides us? -- Patrick Lodder p.lodderat_private ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
