There is a new user's account created but... Shortly after logging on, this
user gets the message in the window titled "Desktop" containing the info:
"path to folder is too long" (or similar, for I use Polish version of NT).
After that the screen shows only the system backround and nothing goes
further. So I had to press ctrl-alt-del to log on as the administrator - and
everything is ok.
Moreover, I noticed that afer such unsuccesful logon, in the folder
"Profiles" a new folder "All_User" is created right in the same folder,
under "All Users", which is normally contained in 'windir' path.

Where is the problem?
Any hints appreciated.

Does the new user have read permission on the local root system
partition and system directory?

I checked the rights, changed them and restored back. And what I have
now: a box message "The system could not load the user's profile.
Contact the Administrator." Below is the countdown timer of 30 seconds
to logon.
I am new to WinNT, now fairly confused.

CAUSE
The %SystemRoot% folder, and possibly its subfolders, has had READ
permission for the Everyone group removed. If the permission has been
removed from the %SystemRoot% folder only, you will get the blank screen
symptom. If the subfolders do not have the READ permission, you receive
the "Cannot load profile" error message.

This error may also occur if "Read" permission has been removed for the
root of the system partition.
RESOLUTION
Restore "Read" permissions for the Everyone group to the Windows_folder
folder and all its subfolders.
