Not Retaining Profile Settings

Upgraded from XP Pro SP2 to Vista Business. Not only are all my documents and
application data gone but every time I log on, it appears as the first time I
logged on. I setup my email account and preferences only to have the settings
lost when I logoff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I am also experience the same problem on one of my desktop machines but I am
not experiencing the same problem on my laptop.

The only difference is that on the desktop I am logging onto a Domain and
the laptop is standalone.

Still investigating
 
I've got exactly the same issue on two different machines. The issue does
solve itself if you log on as a different user but let's face it i don't want
to have to recreate each user and exchange settings each time i upgrade
someone to vista

Solved It!
(at least for me)
This problem solved itself when we removed the user logging on from various
groups. I'm afraid i didn't bother trying to narrow it down to a perticular
one but I should imagine it was Domain Guests or similar as apparently Vista
deals with those groups slightly diffently and only allows member to have
temporary profiles.
Hope this helps
