Hello

Im having trouble creating a new user.

XP Pro SP3
Admin account trying to create a Limited account

I can create the account but when i try to log in to it, it hangs before desktop on a dialog box:

"Personalizing Settings: IE7 Uninstall Stub"

It goes no further than this.

I thought it might be some sort of restrictions to the hard drive so i've been trying to enable the Security Tab in Folder Options but changing the "Use Simple File Sharing" option does not show the Security Tab.

This is where im stuck. Any clue how i can fix this STUB issue and create a new user account?

Thanks

Simple File Sharing does not change how security works in Windows, it just changes how you can see and interact with it and its settings.

Where are you going to create a new user? Through the Control Panel / User Accounts or are you using control userpasswords2?

Control Panel / User Accounts

For the login problem, try putting the user in the administrators group and logging in. Once the first login is finished and the profile has been created, you should be able to remove the user from the administrators group and log back in.

Thanks for the suggestion Flash, I did try that before without sucsess. Tried again but went to Admin tools/Comp management to look at the groups against the new user. The new account was a member of admin and user. Took out the User and was able to log into the new account Logged out and changed to limited account and everything was fine

Still dont know what the Personalizing Settings: IE7 Uninstall Stub thing was but i dont care now as it all works!

Hmmm...that's strange, the membership in the administrators group should supercede the membership in the users group unless there are specific "deny" permissions set in the group policy or ACLs preventing the creation of the new profile.

Glad to hear everything is working fine now.
