Hello,
It probably is if you want to spend the time locating all the references to
the wrong profile in the registry and in shortcuts that point back the
wrong profile.
So this is dependant on the profile, what it contains and what applications
are installed. It is different for everyone.
There are tools to change the ACLS in the filesytem and registry, that you
could run as well.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
