This works for Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. I have used this method several times and it works fine. However, I want to know the root cause of the issue. Why do I have several users per week with corrupted profiles? Any ideas? I totally agree with you Brad. I have seen this issue on and off since Never tracked down the exact cause.
However, several users per week sounds like an excessive amount. At my previous employer, we maintained about employees and I would estimate we saw about corrupt profiles per month. May I ask how many users you are dealing with? It is an accommodation school, probably students and staff. It is mainly the student profiles that become corrupt.
We have group policy locking the systems down but they always find a way to by pass with proxy. We also have roaming profiles.
I am trying to dial in on the root cause. At this point I am not even close. Are the student profiles roaming profiles? There is just a lot that can go wrong with roaming profiles depending on how they are set up. I hate windows. And the work around is just a little faster than reinstalling from scratch in my case. This is the only way you can avoid this issue as it appears to happen randomly on all versions of Windows 7, especially since no real information behind the reason it happens is available even after all of these years.

And the question is: Should this store, by my warranty, fix me such problems for free? But being part of the underlying system itself, it is no less prone to corruption, which can lead to data loss.
This type of corruption is common since users interact with their desktop settings each time they log in until the moment they log out. The slightest issue could corrupt a system file used by the profile itself, more specifically, the portion of the profile that gets merged with the registry and acts as a table of contents for each user's personal profile.
Most corruption will still allow users to access their data to some degree, but when the loss is catastrophic, all of the data that was stored in the affected profile is now removed from the system at once. Luckily for users, it isn't permanently lost--most of the time--just moved and stored in a hidden directory elsewhere until it is retrieved or purged. Knowing where to look allows IT the opportunity to recover lost data as you'll see below. This method is still not an exact science though.
