It is not really creating a new user account but another profile for the
user. Since the user already had a profile you will see extensions such as
you mention for additionally created profiles. Offhand I do not know why
that is happening but I would be sure to run Check Disk on the computer and
configure it to automatically fix file system errors, make sure that users
have read/list/execute permissions to the documents and settings folder and
full control and is owner of their profile folder, and check the logs via
Event Viewer to see any error/warnings are recorded that may help pinpoint
the problem. Of course also make sure to check the computer for malware and
spyware. If nothing obvious is found you may want to consider doing an
upgrade/repair install before doing a pristine install after of course
backing up user's data and EFS private key to a password protected .pfx file
if the user uses EFS. --- Steve

I have a client whose Win 2K Pro box intermittently creates a duplicate
user
account at login. They will log in to the network, see a nearly blank
desktop, and freak. What I find in Documents and Settings is a ghost user
named "username.domain.000". I fixed it last week by copying all desktop
stuff over to the new identity and resharing desktop folders, but it
happened
again yesterday. Has anyone seen this before and can you point me in the
right direction? Thanks!
