Targeted Registry path containing user account profile data:
{HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList}
This .bak key will need to be removed as well as any identical keys to the .bak entry, with the .bak absent.This process can become very time consuming when needing to apply the fix to multiple machines.
For this reason, I have created an application that will scan the local registry and remove any such entries. This will allow you to resolve the problem for any user affected with this issue on that machine.
Simply load the application with admin rights, press [Scan] and if any problems are found, simply press [Fix Errors] and this will remove any registry keys that are responsible for the temporary log-in error. Simple and Fast, the way any Admin likes it! =)
BEFORE
Numerous corrupted entries can be seen in the windows registry. When scanning for problems the application will list the problems in the report log.
AFTER
After pressing the Fix Errors button, the application will report which keys have been fixed and if there were any that were not able to be deleted. Once this is complete simple log-out. You may verify the user's account has been corrected by logging in with their credentials.

NOTE:
You must grant the application administrative privileges, as it will be accessing a sensitive area of the windows registry. If you are unable to obtain administrator rights or unable to follow the steps provided in their written form. It is not advised to take advantage of this Quick-Fix application.
