How can I tell if somebody is logged in with Temp Profile?

Question

I have a user that is logged on but i dont think that their profile has loaded properly. I click on the start menu and it shows the correct username, but im wondering is there a way (once im logged in) to tell if i am using a temp profile or my normal one?

Solution

In Windows XP:

Right click 'My Computer', goto 'Properties' then on the Advanced tab click [Settings] under User Profiles. This will list all the user profiles on the PC, sizes, date modified etc. Verify you don't have two with similar names or one local and the one you want to use being a roaming profile.

Which OS are you using?

Windows Xp pro 32 bit

just if the desktop looks the same-it happened to me and the desktop was different

Just to add another way as well is just to goto C:\Documents and Settings if TEMP is listed in that folder same result.

If Windows cannot load the users profile then it'll login with a 'temp' username, coincidentally this user will have a different desktop background as mentioned by mic84 above :)
