if its a server / workstation system, just reboot,
login admin, and delete the local profiles. the server
will fix it when you log in as that person.

if its a "local only" profile, reboot, login admin,
and create a new user. copy desktop, my crap, favorites,
etc from the bad profile into the new one.

In my experience once the (local only)profile dies, you
cant fix it. Occasionally the server one will die but
you can patch that from a local copy, you always have a
good copy unless all machines die.
