I am try to programmatically create the default profile and manage 
profiles.  I have run into some problems.

GetUserProfileDirectory function requires a token that somehow needs the 
user to logon.  What if the user is disabled, etc?  Windows still allows 
one to delete the profile of disabled user.  Does anyone know who to get 
a token for a user without logging the user on or starting a process as 
the user?

Also, where is the registry are the values one copies to create a 
profile?  I look under HKEY_USERS and there are definitely not as many 
SIDs listed are there are local users that have logged in and have 
current accounts on the computer.

Thanks,
Charlie
