How do I old out a Windows 7 User profile?

“Old-ing” out user profiles is a little different in Windows 7 as discovered recently. This is procedure I found on the interweb and should be followed in place of XP style method
Move C:\Users\%username% to another folder e.g. c:\temp

Delete C:\Users\TEMP to another folder e.g. c:\temp

Delete the
registry key matching the users SID from
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList". Check the value "ProfileImagePath" to make sure you
Pick the correct profile.

Restart once again and then you're done.
