This may be because the currently logged-on user is a user in the domain, and the user's local profile is mistakenly deleted or corrupted so that the system cannot find its profile information when logging in. So there was an error.

The solution, of course, is to restore its configuration files. The steps are as follows:

1, into the c:document and setting, to find a folder named after this user (such as Teyqiu), which is the user's original configuration folder, the main content of the desktop settings, the Start Menu settings and Favorites and so on information. Copy it elsewhere.

2. Rename the folder under this user under C:document and setting. (For example, the original is Teyqiu changed into TEYQIU2)

3, restart the machine, with the user login again, when the machine log on to the domain, because the local has deleted the user's configuration folder, this time will automatically create a new folder named by this user. The inside will contain a correct configuration file.

4, the copy go to the folder (this case is renamed TEYQIU2) in the "desktop", "Start Menu", "Favorites" and other personal Settings folder copy to the newly created folder can restore the previous familiar desktop and Start menu settings.

3. After the restore, Outlook needs to be reset, but the original message is not less than one
