Learning has never been so easy!

Often times a Windows user profile can become corrupted and cause issues with applications, websites, and any number of other Windows features. Fear not, there is a simple way to recreate the user profile without losing any data! By re-creating the user profile you are essentially setting the user’s file system back to its bare bones defaults.

Step 1: Re-Create User Profile (Windows)

Dec 11, 2012 Windows 7: Create new user from regedit. For example let´s take the virus with policie nacional. It affect only a user. If I create a new user it will not load that virus. But with this virus is not possible to load Windows. That virus kill: explore.exe, regedit.exe ant so on. So, I am looking out, how to create a new user account out of Windows. HKEYLOCALMACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT Current Version ProfileGuid Find and delete the key with the four digits from the last step. Reboot the computer again. Login with the users credentials. Transfer data from the user’s old profile (username-old), into the user new profile (username) one folder at a time. Apr 12, 2018 In Windows 10, Microsoft has decided to remove the guest account feature. However, the elements which are required to create new user account still exist. With that, you can create new user account in Windows 10 for your children, family, and other people. Create New User Account in Windows 10. Steps to create Windows 10 new user account is.

For the users convenience, (and your own) take a quick look at how the user has their profile set up. Have the user login. Take screen shots or take notes of the users profile; mapped network drives, mapped network printer, Task bar shortcuts, etc. You’ll need to set these up again in a few minutes.
Note: Some 3rd party software is required to be installed specifically on the users profile, so be aware of that as well.
1. Reboot the computer to release any locks on the profile.
2. Log on with an administrative account.
3. Navigate to the C:Users folder
4. Rename the user profile with the word “.old” at the end of it. Example: “username” becomes “username.old”
5. Delete these two registry keys for that user: Open regedit.exe and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionProfileList
In the “Profile Image Path” value. Find the key that lists the user name. Note the last four digits of the value. Then delete it.
Then navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrent VersionProfileGuid
Find and delete the key with the four digits from the last step.
6. Reboot the computer again.
7. Login with the users credentials.
8. Transfer data from the user’s old profile (username-old), into the user new profile (username) one folder at a time.
*Do not transfer the “AppData” Contents unless you specifically know what you are looking for. This folder is most likely housing the garbage that jacked-up the user profile in the first place.
**If the user was fond of Sticky Notes, they can be found here:
C:UsersusernameAppDataRoamingMicrosoftSticky Notes
***Web Browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, etc. often time store the user data in the ‘AppData’ folder as well. For example you may need to reach back and restore the users Google Chrome folder here:
C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalGoogleChromeUser Data
9. After you are sure that you have moved all the users’ data from the old profile on to the new profile. You may delete the old profile, but I never do. Just in case.
10. Another reboot may be required.
11. Have user login again. Remap any network drives, printers, task bar items and any other cosmetics from step 1.

If whatever caused you to want to rebuild the user profile in the first place is still causing issues..save yourself some time and nuke it. If you have automated your machine build process that shouldn’t be too much of a burdensome task.
Just remember to backup any active user profiles. :-)

  • The above is the manual way of doing that (which seems to be the most popular if your spitting into google).
  • A quicker approach, if your environment allows it.
    -Setup redirected folders for desktop, downloads, documents, etc.
    -Assume you are using Exchange
    -Control Panel > User Accounts > Configure advanced user profile properites
    -Find user in question, Delete
    -Logoff, Login, done.

  • This How To is not about file redirection, roaming profiles or any other such thing. This How To is in regards to accurately and efficiently re-create a user profile for the benefit of the End User, and saving yourself from further help requests in the hours following the profile rebuild.
  • Warning! The method 102020 suggests WILL CAUSE USER DATA TO BE DELETED!
  • Yes, the manual method which I have explained in detail herein will require you to take 5 minutes out of your schedule to actively help the user. As it is very clear in the instruction, this is not an automated process. My method not only requires you to take five minutes of your day to help someone, but it also requires a little empathy toward the end user, Not Apathy.
  • Question. Is it better to spend 5 minutes re-creating the user profile manually (and with far, far more accuracy), or taking the time to set up file redirection which -in turn- will have the user calling the your helpdesk multiple times to find out where all of their data went?
    Your Action — ‘Find user in question, Delete, Logoff, Login, done’.
    End User’s Response- ‘I don’t remember the URL to that website, where are all my favorites in IE Chrome, and Firefox? Where are my notes? None of my settings are the same That was important stuff!! My desktop has been altered, what happened!? My task bar is empty, what happened? After you did what you did, all my stuff is gone and I cannot print and my mapped drives are gone, What did YOU DO!!!’ etc. etc. etc. Sound familiar?
  • What I am not familiar with is the term ‘spitting into Google’ could you please explain your comment?
    By the way, if you are suggesting my How To is the result of a Google search, I can tell you that your profile picture is quite accurate.
  • Also, What you are referring to sounds a whole lot like roaming profiles which in my opinion is a bad idea knowing how much data users keep on their profiles these days.

  • Excellent post! We do this a lot. Backing up and blowing away a users profile is also our first defense strategy when any type of infection or weirdness is encountered. This is one more reason why a good way of customizing the default user profile is so very important! (And no Microsoft, sysprep using the copyprofile parameter is not a good way!)
  • With Windows 10, we will suffer yet another blow in the battle with Microsoft in finding a way to setup default profiles. This is our biggest concern with win10.

  • If it takes you too long to find the familiar place back where you could delete the profile dir from safely then hit Windows+R and type > sysdm.cpl
    And once these have been used and it still leaves data in the users dir then you can delete it from within explorer. And Microsft made a big booboo in my opinion to save the installed programs in the users folder..

  • On Windows 10 Pro, I had to battle SearchUI.exe holding an open file handle on a file within the user profile I needed to rename. Also, using regedit, ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrent VersionProfileGuid’ does not exist. You will also have to re-install Windows 10 apps.

  • This still works good with Windows 10. Thanks for the thorough explanation.

  • Excellent walkthrough. I have an issue where I did this and the user did not use google sync, so I need to go ‘back’ and retrieve his bookmarks for Chrome. Kabuta l2500 manual download. Is this possible? I have the user.old profile folder still on the hard drive, but did remove the registry keys.
  • If anyone knows, please reply and let me know, thanks!

  • what about logging in as the admin and copying the desktop/documents/pictures/ music folders to a safe place either on the network or the notebook , then do win key + r type in sysdm.cpl, then click the advanced tab enter then user settings and then delete the account? then have the client log back in and yes, look at any mapped drives /printers etc..before.

  • great information, was unsure about which registry keys to delete,This was perfect. worked great, also marking it .old i was able to go back and still retrieve from their old profile, Thanks

  • Thanks. It’s so easy to miss a step without a good list. Screen shots of the desktop and the printers really helped. One thing the user complained about was missing his custom tool bars in Excel. I was able to fix that by copying some files from his old profile. FYI:
  • Office 365 — C:Users’username’AppDataLocalMicrosoftOfficeExcel.OfficeUI
    Excel 2019 — C:Users’username’AppDataLocalMicrosoftOfficeExcel.OfficeUI
    Excel 2016 — C:Users’username’AppDataLocalMicrosoftOfficeExcel.OfficeUI
    Excel 2013 — C:Users’username’AppDataLocalMicrosoftOfficeExcel.OfficeUI
