APPLIES TO

SYMPTOMS
When you log on to a Windows 2000-based computer by using a Web interface, such as the Web User Interface that is provided by Microsoft Server Appliance Kit 2.01, the name of the folder that is created for your user profile in the Documents and Settings folder may be corrupted.
CAUSE
This problem may occur if the Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI) is installed on the Windows 2000 Server-based computer. For example, if the MUI language is set to Japanese, the folder name may contain various Kanji (Japanese text) and symbol characters instead of exactly matching your user name.
This problem has been known to occur after the installation of Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) and after the installation of the Windows 2000 hotfix that is discussed in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
287917 WMI Registry Provider Does Not Support UNICODE
Note Although the folder name cannot be easily typed (this affects management tasks, for example), the folder otherwise functions without a problem.
