Extenders (xbox) using a different user profile

#1

3 of my 4 extenders are no longer using the settings and media folders of my main login that the other extenders are (initially thought it was just one, turns out there is only one still using the normal profile).

They connect, can play live/recorded TV, etc. but every time I log in with those extenders, they defaults to the large view instead of the list view for TV, and forgets about the Video, Music, & Movies shares. The shares that are there instead are in C:\Users\TEMP.

I suspect this behavior was triggered by an attempt to install Windows Movie Maker, which hung.

Any ideas? Will try rebooting later tonight, maybe just something left from the failed install?

Any error in Event Viewer/Media Center?

If you think the MCX accounts might need to be reset, this one works pretty nice.

There are warnings in the event log about wmplayer opening an illegal window or something like that. Rebooting got them back into the normal profile.
