Okay, just to refresh, two computers here, both with Windows 7... one working... one not... Let's name them A and B, A = working, B = beeyotch.
Computer A:
-Default Profile-
Status = Hidden
Security - Everyone = Full Control
Advanced - Owner - Current Owner = Everyone
Replace owner on subcontainers and objects = Yes
Computer B:
-Default Profile-
Status = Hidden
Security - Everyone = Full Control
Advanced - Owner - Current Owner = Everyone
Replace owner on subcontainers and objects = Yes
What I did on both Computer A and Computer B:
Set up local administrator profile exactly the way I want the default to be. Created a local user with administrator rights. Restarted the computer. Logged in as that user. Showed hidden files and folders. I then renamed "Default" to "Default.old" and copied Administrator and pasted it, showing up as Administrator - Copy. I renamed Administrator to "Default". Then I set it to hidden - but only that folder. The files/folders inside I did not adjust hidden properties to. Then I granted full control to the folder to "everyone" and changed the effective owner, replacing ownership on files/folders inside with "everyone."
Then I created several more local users, all of them being local administrators of the computer. I logged into several of them to test. Each time, I pulled desktop icons, but nothing that I truly needed. The effectiveness of the default profile is just not working like it did before. Both computers were done identically, yet I cannot trace why I'm having inconsistent results like this.
