« on: August 20, 2015, 04:28:43 pm »

Testing Env:
Vmware Workstation 11
Win7 64bit, updated Aug
No additional software installed

Steps to Reproduce:
Create registry backup(all settings at default)
Immediately after restore registry; restart
Login(works fine)
Create new user account(admin)
Logout
Login to new user account
--Error :

Note: Logging in with original account works fine.

Other Notes:
Discovered this issue while trying to restore registry for system with non-standard "Users" folder location(on D:\Users).
The registry backup was made after system was setup as is.
However, after restoration and restart, the account resting in D:\Users\accountName, failes to login with above error.

Later I found this was a more general issue.
