    This won't help you much but here's a frustrating answer from Microsoft that seems to apply to your problem.

    You do not need to set the permissions to EVERYONE when copying a profile to Default User.

    Default User profile is only used as a template of course, and the appropriate permissions are attached to the newly created user profile. I believe the SYSTEM account is used when creating a new profile, so you can leave the permissions just the way they are.

    As for getting the "cannot find specified file" error, I would suggest using the local administrator account to setup your system and copy that profile over.

    You might also try logging in as a different user with admin rights and then copying the good profile over.

    I hope this helps!!!
