Cannot copy profile

[Crockett]

Using the ctrl+ALT+DEL method at the welcome screen, I
logged on as the administrator. I then tried to copy the
profile and got the same error message. The profile I am
trying to copy is not the administrator profile but rather
a profile that I created that has local admin rights. I
am using that profile to install software and create
various configurations that I am then imaging using Ghost.

319974 - HOW TO: Create a Custom Default User Profile:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;319974
warns you not to do this as Administrator.

However, there are other problems as I discuss in another article in
this thread. I've posted a note to Microsoft asking for clarification of
the conflicting advice in several articles discussing customizing the
Default User profile or copying one profile over another. One
contradictory article advises using sysprep to create your system
install.
