I have done some searching and mostly only XP is discussed. Pressing the F8 key during boot-up has no effect. I logged in using a different domain user account with admin rights to the computer.

Copy the contents of the folders containing the data that you want to move to your new user profile. In addition, you'll want to copy the contents of the Favorites, Outlook Express, and Address Book folders if you're using that e-mail program, or the Outlook folder.
You may also want to copy the contents of Cookies, Templates, and any other folders that contain critical data files.
Be careful not to copy any files that are specifically related to the operating system, as any one of those files could be the culprit in the case of the corrupted user profile. For example, you definitely won't want to copy Ntuser. When you're finished copying files, log out of the working profile, and then log on to your new user profile. When you do, you should be able to access all your data files and most of your applications, just as you did with your old profile.
However, keep in mind that you may have to reinstall or at least reconfigure some of your applications. And, of course, you'll need to recreate all your personalized settings. Once you've totally moved into your new user profile, you'll want to permanently delete your old, corrupted user profile.
While you may be tempted to do so from within Windows Explorer, you shouldn't because it won't completely remove all the settings associated with your old user profile. To do it the right way, access the User Profiles tool from the Advanced tab of the System Properties dialog box. Once you do, select the old user profile from the list and click the Delete button. So you won't ever have to go through all these troubleshooting steps should the user profile ever get corrupted again, you can trick Windows XP into administering the local user profile as if it were a roaming user profile.
When you do so, Windows XP will back up your user profile each time you log off. To use this trick, you have to log off your new account and log on to the working account. Then, access the User Profiles tool from the Advanced tab of the System Properties dialog box, select your user profile, click the Copy To button, and type the name of a folder on another drive in the Copy Profile To text box.

I'm having the same problem This is a procedure we do pretty much all the time and it works. A project I'm working on includes 10 brand new PC's. I create a "master" PC that is not a member of my domain. Then, I ghost it. I write the ghost image to a fresh PC exact same machine as the "master" PC.
Next, I run the sid changer utility and rename the PC at the same time. AFter the reboot, I join it to the domain and finish with any folder ACLs that require domain rights for groups. This time around, after doing some initial testing as a computer lab user just logging on to test a program here and there I tried to delete that user profile so they would be created fresh. Because the directory structure is not created for User B until he or she logs on, User A's Temp folder is the only location that User B's tile is stored.
Other users' tiles are not guaranteed to be up-to-date in their Temp folders. Therefore, if applications use User A's Temp folder to obtain User B's tile, those applications can get an out-of-date image file. User Environment Variables. Fast User Switching.
