I need to capture an image of a lab machine. Problem is that all of the kids who use the machines have profile folders that I can't remove. There are hundreds of folders in c:\users\%username% and I need them gone. If this was XP and I wanted to do this, I'd simply delete them, at a later time if a user who was removed tries to log on that machine, windows will make them a new profile folder. But in 7, it just doesn't work. I try to delete those folders but upon reboot, windows puts them back. But even then they aren't back-back, they are corrupt, because if you try to login it won't let you use the folder. It will instead give you a temp folder and warn you that any settings you change won't be saved. I read about a fix here:
Delete Windows User Profile in Registry
It doesn't seem to work either. This shouldn't be this complicated. I just need to delete some folders and not have them magically return. Can anyone help me with this>
