"Windows cannot copy file" error message when you log on by using a roaming profile in Windows 2000Article ID: 837754 - View products that this article applies to. On This PageSYMPTOMSIf you log off a computer by using a roaming profile account, and the network connection is dropped while the user profile is being uploaded to the server, temporary files are saved to the roaming user profile folder on the server. The temporary files have the file name PRFxxx.tmp, where xxx is an incrementing number. If you later log on to another computer, the profile folder is downloaded again, and you may receive an error message that is similar to the following: Windows cannot copy file \\ServerName\ShareName\User\Application
Data\Microsoft\Office\prf*.tmp to location Drive letter\Documents and
Settings\\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\prf*.tmp. Contact
your
network administrator. CAUSEThis problem may occur if you are connected over a slow link that is dropped while the profile is being copied to the server. When the files are copied to the roaming user profile folder on the server, the files are saved as temporary files. The temporary files are not renamed until the copy operation is complete. In this scenario, the temporary files may become locked by the system, and this generates the error that is described in the "Symptoms" section.
