 > OK, refresh my memory. Same problem as what part of this thread?

First post. Trying to copy a profile (user) to the Default Profile (Default
User). Getting the same error about index.dat.

I suppose I could just copy ANOTHER profile over and re-direct the registry
to that, but must I do that every time I want to change the profile?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

No not normally but given the other unexplained profiles I think the install
is corrupt. It may be time to clean install.

I don't want to sound mean, but that doesn't help. :-\ Especially when this
install is pretty new; I believe we created this image earlier this year
(around Spring).

I'm more inclined to copy over a "clean profile" each time. Bleh...<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

If that works for you then by all means but I stand by the fact that the
install is corrupt.
