Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a computer that is running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
-
The computer is running the Windows Search service and has the Input Personalization interfaces enabled.
-
You delete a user profile on the computer.
-
You restart the computer or restart the Windows Search service.
In this scenario, the user profile folder is unexpectedly re-created in the following path:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\InputPersonalization\TextHarvester\TextHarvester.datNote The TextHarvester.dat file that is created is part of the Input Personalization system that adapts the language model and dictionary to a particular user, based on the user's usage. This usage information is primarily obtained through the search indexer.
Cause
This problem occurs because the presence of the user profile is not checked before the Textharvester.dat file is created.Note The IPSPlugin.dll file caches the text-harvested data for each user in a corresponding TextHarvester.dat file.
Resolution
To resolve this problem, apply the hotfix that is described in this section.Note This hotfix does not remove the re-created user profile folders. After you apply this hotfix, you have to delete the re-created user profile folders manually. This is a one-time action.
