error copying default user profile

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

I think that you must be logged in as a user with administrative rights to
the local machine to do this.

I have also noticed that you cannot copy the profile of the user you are
currently logged in as either. You have to log in as a different user and
then copy the profile you wanted to the default profile.

I normally just set up a temporary user. Configure the profile. Then log
in as administrator and copy it over.

I hope this helps you solve your problem.
