I'm having a problem renaming and/or deleting a particular user profile on my XP professional sp-1 system.

I believe that there is a problem with a user profile on this system so I would like to either delete it or rename it so that a new one will be created the next time the user logs in.

I have tried everything that I can think of but I'm getteing nowhere. I log on as the administrator and I get an "access denied" message whenever I attempt to so much as look into the profile. The user associated with the profile is a member of the administrators group as well.

This is a stand alone workstation, not a member of any domain. I have tried coming up in "safe mode" to a command prompt but I get the same "access denied" message.

Even when I am logged on using the administrator acount I can't so much as browse that user's document folder.

Something's definitely wrong and I don't know how to fix it. Any suggestions?
