    Unable to have newusers on XP pro

    In the admin mode, when i create new users, it doesnt give an error message.
    (whether the new user is limited user or admin, it doesnt matter) but when i go to the login screen,and select the new user to login, it says I cannot log in as Windoes cannot find the file specified.

    What might be the problem?

    This reply from Kelly's Korner addresses these issues:

    Logon to another account with admin privilege and run System Restore.
    Choose the most recent restore point and SR should restore the user
    hives.


    Or...


    Boot into safe mode and log in as Administrator. Copy ntuser.dat from
    %windir%\repair to "Documents and Settings\[your user id]". Now do a system
    restore to a point in time prior to when the corruption message began to
    appear.


    Or...


    Relocate NTUserdat


    Look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
    NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and find the profile you want to change
    and then change ProfileImagePath to the ntuser.dat folder that you want to
    use. You must manually copy or move the ntuser.dat file there.
