Shane,

With UAC off, I thought it would be good to know that I am seeing this in the event viewer...when I try to connect as a standard user.
Please note that I already checked the userinit registry key and it does look like the default value.

eventid 4006

The Windows logon process has failed to spawn a user application. Application name: . Command line parameters: C:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe.

Shane:
OK try this, if these work iw ill add these to the Windows repair :-)

Open a cmd.exe as administrator and do these

Net localgroup Users Interactive /add
Net localgroup Users "Authenticated Users" /add

Shane,

 :sad: No luck unfortunately ! I got the following for both of them. They are indeed already part of the Users group.

The specified account name is already a member of the group.

Shane:
Well, tittie sprinkles.

Ok so I am looking at this
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929825

Says to check
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
And check the path for Userinit

I want to make sure that Userinit isnt set at HKEY_Current_User\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon for the accounts have trouble.

You will need to load the registry hive file from those user accounts to look at them since they wont log in. Do you know how to do that?

Hi Shane,

One of the first things I checked was the HKLM Winlogon key and it does point to the default userinit.exe.
As for the HK_Current_User, no I did not.
Please note that admin accounts can log in no problem since I switched off UAC. If I change an account from admin type to standard, that account cannot log in and get logged off right away.
And no, I don't know how to load the registry hive. Please let me know and I will see where it takes us. :confused:

Thanks
Alain
