Windows 7 logged into TEMP Profile

This problem occurs if the current user is deleted or in a domain network the network is down to authenticate the login. In all the cases windows 7 create a temp profile for the user and the old or correct user is rename in the registry as .bak. So the only thing you have to do is to delete the user from the registry and takeout the .bak registry entry showing the username.

Follow this step.
 1. Log on to the system by using an administrative user account other than the user account that is experiencing the problem.
2. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
3.Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
4.Under the ProfileList subkey, delete the subkey that is named similar to SID.bak. and take out the .bak from the SID.bak registry file
Note SID is a placeholder for the security identifier (SID) of the user account that is experiencing the problem. The SID.bak subkey should contain a ProfileImagePath registry entry that points to the original profile folder of the user account that is experiencing the problem.
6. Exit Registry Editor.
7. Log off the system.
8. Log on to the system again.
