Locally stored profile does not load

I'm using Windows XP, Home Edition. When I turn on the compurter, I receive
the message:

Windows cannot load the locally stored profile: Insufficient security
rights or a corrupted local file. Windows has logged you in with a temporary
profile. Any setting you make will not be saved.

Make sure you have full control on your profile folder. To do so so
start a command prompt and issue this command:

cacls C:"\Documents and Settings\username" /t /e /g username:f

Obviously, replace username above with your user name. You have to use
the quotation marks in the command, as above. You can simply use the
cacls command on your profile folder to ensure that you have the full
control permissions on the folder:

cacls C:"\Documents and Settings\username"

You should see your username with letters, the letter "F" should be
there by your username. Once you are certain that you have proper
permissions reboot the computer. If the error persists see here:

Thanks, Patti. I had seen the first article, but not the second. Turned out
to be an easy fix with a new profile.

John John,

Thanks. I did what you suggested. MS-DOS responded with an "F" after all
kinds of things, like NT Authority, Builtin Adminstrators, OI, CI, IO, and so
forth.

Does this mean I have "full control?"

Sorry for my lack of technical facility with the technical names.

If your username is there with the letter "F" along with those other
letters then yes you have full control on the folder.

Thanks to John John. His DOS command worked perfectly when the Microsoft recommended methods did not for my Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 operating system. After restoring access to my documents and settings I was able to copy all from the corrupted user account profile to the new administrator access account I created. (I did not have to go to a separate account to make the file transfers unlike the Micorsoft recommended method. Also, for your information, when you go to delete the corrupted profile, a prompt appears to copy all files to the desktop. The only thing I have not figured out is how to retrieve my NetZero Internet favorites.

Also, does anyone know how the corruption occurs? This came out the blue for me (I had sufficient space and memory including virtual memory) after five years of using a Dell Dimension 3000 computer.
