Hello
I've seen several posts on this same topic here, but none of the
resolved in any resolution so I am hoping someone has since figured i
out

In Vista, I am able to login using my own account which is a
Administrator account. Then via Control Panel, use the User Account
tool to create new account, Standard or Administrator. The tool appear
to complete the action properly. The new accounts appear listed in th
User Accounts tool and show up on the login screen. However, I a
unable to log in to any of them. Even when giving them a passwor
during creation. Furthermore, there appears to be no system folder
for the account...i.e. no 'My Documents', 'Desktop', My Music, etc
under c:\User

Has anyone figured out why the Vista User Accounts tool cannot complet
the account creation properly

Interesting to note. I changed two things that have allowed me t
create new accounts successfully

1)During all previous tries I would create the account and then onc
created the next step I would do is change the account by adding
password. (The result being when I then went to login with that ne
username and password I would get an error

2)I had previously shared out the 'Users' folder, typically, c:\User
so that I could sync the My Documents etc with my other machine. Thi
possibly could have created a permissions issue for Vista to establis
the new account, but I don't think so and here is why

This time, when I created a new account I didn't give it a password.
Once done, I went and checked the c:\Users folder and still no profil
folders had been added for the new account. I logged out and selecte
the new account for login. Naturally, no password was required an
Vista imediately went to 'Creating New User Profile'...and there it wa
under c:\Users. I was then able to subsequently add the password

Bottom line : When creating a new user account, don't add a password.
Add it after you login in the firsttime without it
