This behavior can occur if you have Internet Explorer installed and the network is set up to use mandatory user profiles that are not configured with Internet Explorer personalized settings.To work around this behavior, create a new mandatory user profile that includes Internet Explorer personalized settings, or change the BrowserWebCheck data value to a null value.To assign a mandatory user profile, you must also copy a preconfigured user profile to the location that you specified in the last step opening the user profile form.

• Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
• On the Advanced tab, under User Profiles, click Settings.
• Click the profile that you want to copy, and then click Copy To.
• In the Copy profile to box, type or browse to the path of the folder that you specified in step 5 in the "Open and Configure the User Profile Name Form" section, and then click OK.
• Confirm that the user that is specified under Permitted to use is the user who will be accessing this profile. If more than one user will be using the copied user profile, you need to select a group that contains all of these users, such as the Everyone group.
• Click OK.
• Rename Ntuser.dat to Ntuser.man.

You must know that Loadwc.exe, also known as Load WebCheck, customizes some of the settings in Internet Explorer.Loadwc.exe adds, removes, and updates subscriptions. Loadwc.exe also propagates settings for user profiles. After you restart your computer during Internet Explorer setup, Loadwc.exe copies Internet Explorer settings that need to be updated for each user profile.To change the setting in the registry, delete the Loadwc.exe value data from the BrowserWebCheck value in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

If you log on to XP computer, the user profile path should point to a folder name and the path should not include either the .usr or .man extension. If the folder that you specify in the user profile path does not exist, it is automatically created the first time that the user logs on.
