Half way there... (SOLVED)

I didnt want you to rename or move the default folder, there is folders in there that I couldnt backup because they are locked to the system, thats why I wanted you to make a copy of the folder and then extract the files from the zip over it :wink:

Shane,

Understood. I did not get it the first time.

So, I followed your instructions this time and answered Yes to overwrite etc. Created a new standard user. Unfortunately, no luck again. Same logoff behavior right away.

Before that, let me tell you that I activated the administrator account (net user administrator /active:yes) and logged right in without any issue. Here is what my current situation looks like :
1. built-in Administrator account : No issue to login
2. user account with admin rights : Black screen with cursor, run 'userinit.exe' to start a session thru Task manager.
3. user account with standard rights : logoff right after login.

It looks like a permission problem. Do you know if the built-in administrator account also calls the userinit key to create a session, just like the other account types ? If so, only that account is currently being able to run this all the way. I have also re-run Windows Repair under my regular user account with admin rights, once again. This time, it did not fix anything. Would it make a difference to run the tool using the built-in administrator account ? Safe enough ?

I am really stumped.

Alain.

Shane:
The administrator account is handled differently in Windows, basically it is the true admin. So like on Windows 2008 server when you are logged into the server as administrator the UAC never asks for permission for anything as you are the true admin. So windows does treat it differently.

Question, is the UAC turned on? If it is try turning it off, reboot and see if the problem still happens.

It does sound like a permissions problem and so the first step is to turn the UAC off since we know that gets in the middle of it all.

Hi Shane,

Thanks for taking the time to try to resolve this.
Your last suggestion is moving things in the right direction but I don't have a clue as to why this is happening.
Turning UAC to off resolves the issue for any user with administrator privileges but not for standard user ! So, logging in with a user with admin rights gets me to the desktop with no issue.
The standard user continues to get logged off right after entering correct password.

Shane:
No doubt that it is a permission problem then, just very odd that changing the permissions isnt fixing it, makes me wonder if it is a permission on the files and not in the registry.

I have my Windows repair restore the default permissions in Windows 8, I wonder if I should do the same for 7 and see if it does the trick.
