Migrating User Profiles and Outlook

01:07 PM

I’ve joined my computer to a Domain. Therefore I migrated my User Profile (under Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> User Profiles). It… let’s say: worked.

But I couldn’t save attachments in Outlook.

Can’t create file: Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder

The problem is, that Outlook saves a path to a “OutlookSecureTempFolder” in the registry. This path pointed to my old profile where my new user has no right to write to. I changed the path to my new profile path, restarted Outlook and it worked.

Quoting from the blog of Mikhail Arkipov (and the same goes for VS 2008)

I blogged earlier that in VS 2005 we switched from using static XML schemas to automatically generating them using reflection on Web controls. XML schemas are generated on demand as you open pages in your Web site. They contain information about ASP.NET controls, custom and user controls. You can find generated files cache in

C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ReflectedSchemas

For Vista:

C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\ReflectedSchemas
