Guest A DeLew Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Turned on my PC today and I suddenly have a new profile, that I did not create (or at least that I realized I created). The admin profile name is Janice. But this new profile is Alice.Alice-Dell. Everything seems to be the same as in the Janice profile. But the Alice profile has a new registration number. My PC is almost dead in the water it runs so slow. ANY idea as to what happened and how I can fix it? OS is Windows Prof2000, PC is an older Dell laptop.
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Re: New Profile Assigned Hello A, A profile did not come up itself. If you are the only one with access to the machine and it doesn't exist when you start working with the machine, it seems that you should check for spyware etc. Also you can just remove it. in the run line type compmgmt.msc and here go to local users and groups. |Under users delete the account and then delete the profile from the machine.

Guest Dave Patrick Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Re: New Profile Assigned Try holding the shift key while logging off and then logon as Janice. I tend to agree, possibly malware at work. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.
