hey guys, sometimes when i reboot and then , vista logs me into a temp profile where nothing i do gets saved and it sets my settings back to the default settings... i have to reboot a couple more times to get my real profile... i dont know why this happens... maybe someone cud tell my why and also how not to get it again...

LH,
is it possible that his computer is set to not save any data/ revert to original at logon?
while searching through folder options one day, i came across something like this but cant find it again and cant rember exactly what it was.
It is like being at school or at a public library. you can logon do whatever you want but when you log off everyting goes back to the original way.

Windows usually loads a temp profile when it cannot load the user registry hive for some reason. Check the Event Viewer and there should be an event saying why it couldn't load the user registry hive.
How to open the Event Viewer:
Click the start button.
Right click on computer.
Click Manage.
Click Continue.
Double click Event Viewer on the left.
Double chick Windows Logs on the left.
Select the System log to view it.
If you don't see an event for this in the System log try selecting the Application log.
