(i hate doing this, but its been almost a year with no reply.) bump

First off, I hope I have this in the right forum Alright, about a month ago, I did an unnatended installation of windows XP professional. Everything works GREAT, except for one seemingly minor thing. System restore is gone funky. Before I get into the issue, let me show you the contents of my unnatend file. Just in case any of you are curious. [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=ProvideDefault OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* [GuiUnattended] EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 ProfilesDir = F:\Documents and Settings [UserData] ProductID=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX FullName="ChapMan" OrgName="" [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=13,17,3,2,5,16,4,12,15,7,8,10,11,9,6,14,1 Language=00000409 [Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes [Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=1 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes So, As you can see, pretty much the only thing I changed, was the drive that the documents and settings folder is located on. I'm not going to get into why I changed that, cause it's not really relevant. Anyway, when I do a system restore to say today, it logs me into a seemingly brand new user account. No icons, default theme, normal start music, the works. Now, I've narrowed part of the problem through weeks of troubleshooting to a specific area of the registry. Specificly: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList It seems to want to add .NT AUTHORITY to the end of a lot of things in there. So if anyone has any input on this, please help. I've been researching this for a while, and if there's any additional information you want about it, reply and i will give it to you.
