Calling PC expert, please help its driving me huts,

Strange problem with t'other half's laptop. Her profile got corrupted (so the interweb said) so I made her a new account, copied files etc into the new profile PITA. All was well for a few weeks. Then after shutting down, the logon screen wouldn't allow her to log on. If you select "switch user" it allows me to log onto my profile. Once logged on and started up I can then 'switch user' from the start menu and the profile loads and logs on OK.

If I start PC log on as me then log off, her account still doesn't logon. It will only logon if another admin account is running.

Would the fact I've called her new profile "carol 2" be the problem? Is Win 7 anal about spaces?

If that is the problem can I rename the user folder and the registry "ProfileImagePath" to fix it? Don't want to do the pain of copying all those chuffing files again.
