If you have a roaming profile, your settings are not replicated. Contact your administrator. DETAIL: Access is denied. CAUSE ===== This issue can occur if the share that contains your user profile is not set to Full Control. RESOLUTION ========== To resolve this issue, put user profiles for clients running Windows 2000 on servers and domain controllers running Windows 2000 Server or change the permissions on the share to Full Control. MORE INFORMATION ================ The Change permission in Windows NT 4.0 Server does not allow WRITE_DAC access, which is required by the user profile code to update ACLs on the server-based profile. Change permissions in Windows 2000 Server have the appropriate access rights to allow the server-based profile to be updated.
