Check the current user information in the control panel under user profiles, and see if any permissions were changed. If not, you may have a corrupted profile, which from adminstrator you can remove and recreate the profile.

1. You can create separate accounts for each person that will be using the computer which allows each user to have their own document folders and settings such as the wallpaper, Start menu, visual style, and so forth. You can create and configure user accounts with the User Accounts tool (Q279783) in Control Panel, but is not available on a computer that is a member of a Domain.

2. For a thorough understanding, please read through the TechNet article, "User Data and Settings Management - User Profile Structure", and the "User Profiles and Folder Redirection FAQ."

a. "How to Copy User Data to a New User Profile (Q811151)."
b. "Error Message: "Windows Cannot Load the Locally Stored Profile" (Q812339)."
