Topic: Eject Hardware Creates New Profile
Hello,
Whenever I use the 'eject hardware' icon to disconnect my external hardrive,
it proceeds normally until it says it is OK to stop the device. When I turn
off the hardrive, the computer crashed, wrote something to a log and when I
rebooted, the Username is the same in the Login-window but half the icons on
the Desktop are missing after it boots.
When I looked at the directory structure using windows explorer, I could see
that another user had been created - user.computer name - the new user name
is the same as my original user name but has the ".computername" extension.
I have been unable to get back to my original user name.
I have logged on as Administrator and deleted the new 'user.computername'
and when I reboot under my original name the computer creates the new
user.computername again.
How can I correct this?
My system is:
Dell Inspiron 8000
Windows 2000 SP4 with all Updates
Office 2000
CFP 2.4
BOC 4.5
NOD 32
Thanks in advance for help.
