admin profile

    Windows 7 Windows 7 won't boot to admin profile & desktop, only to a temp profile.

    When I log in using my admin username and password, it won't load my user profile. It will only load a temporary profile in which no activities can be saved. How can I get it to bring up my admin profile & desktop?
