January 6, 200620 yr Hey guys,Does deleting (or resetting, whatever you want to call it) a person's profile also reset the HKCU keys in the registry as well?See attached. Basically, if I press the delete button (when logged on as administrator), will it also clear the HKCU keys in the registry for that particular profile?
January 6, 200620 yr Yes. The HKCU hive is the NTUSER.DAT file located in the user's profile.If the user has logged onto the workstation you may have problems deleting the profile without rebooting the workstation...unless you have the Microsoft User Profile Hive Cleanup Service tool installed. Note that you cannot delete the profile if you are logged on as the user who's profile you want to delete.

I was planning on logging in as Administrator, so there shouldn't be any problems there. Just to be clear, it resets the profile but doesn't delete the account and keeps all folder permissions in place, correct?
January 6, 200620 yr Author ****, it didn't solve the problem I was having... ourTunes ( http://ourtunes.sourceforge.net ) still doesn't load. But it does load under another account.

But it does load under another account.What is the error, does this another account have the same permissions? This sounds to me like a profile/permission issue, but you said that recreating the profile didn't help. Try to sniff logs to see why this app won't load under diff account..
