MessageYes, at logout, the SID key is written out to the user's NTUSER.DAT
file in your profile.
The SID_Classes key is written out to UsrClass.DAT under Local
Settings\Application Data in your profile.

They are then removed from the registry.

          If I log in as a normal user, I can go to CURRENT_USER and see my
registry hive.
          If I log out and go back in as an admin, my normal user keys,
neither of them exist.
          There are a couple there, but those are of users who had logged in
before this problem
          surfaced. I know mine is not there by highlighting a key and
checking Security to
          see who has access. Either that or the keys are being deleted at
logout.

    David,

    When you say "it does not add that key to USERS", what are you expecting
to see?

    For each logged-in user, the HK_USERS should contain two entries....one
with his/her SID and another with SID_Classes. HK_Current_User is merely
your own personal link to the USERS entry with your SID.

    You can tell who is currently logged in by determining the owner of each
entry in USERS.

    HTH,

    Raff

      Actually, it seems to be creating the CURRENT_USER key while logged
in, but it does not add that
      key to the USERS registry key...

      I have a Win2k/Citrix Term Server which dies not seem to be creating
the HKEY_USERS registry keys
      when users log in. Any ideas?
