Fix Corrupted Windows Profile

Rate this item

Over the years, I've had various people that have had trouble logging into their Windows computer.  Windows would login to a Temporary profile.  It is an easy fix, but not so easy from a distance since it involves editing the registry.  I don't like sending regedit commands to users since so many things could go wrong.  In response to the many requests I received, I wrote the script below in AutoIT.  It's simple and easy for the user to double-click the executable file after restarting into Safe Mode.  It fixes the Corrupted Profile.  The code isn't pretty, but leave a comment if you find anything that doesn't work.

If you want to learn more about the Windows Temporary Profile, search for:  windows temporary profile fix

I hope this helps someone.

Thanks!
