I have never experienced this error myself before but luckily Microsoft have an official support article on the matter:

 

Error Message: "Windows Cannot Load the Locally Stored Profile"

 

Unfortunately, the solution they give involves making a new user account because the directory associated with your previous user account has been deleted. Just create an account with a slightly different name, e.g. YourName2. Then see if you can browse to C:\Documents and Settings\[previous account name]. Hopefully you should be able to recover some of your files, look in the My Documents folder there.

When I click on Icon on my desk top I get this message. 'C:\Documents and Setting\my name\Desktop\

Hi.

I think i would be best to start a new thread and give as much details as possible.

Thank you.

Hi Tippyfrank;

Jamey supplied a good link to your first question.

If this is an unrelated topic start a new thread as maynard suggested please.

 

Can you also be more specific with your second post or issue? Such as what is the icon?

 

Thanks;

RandyL
