    In that case, lets see what you have at step 6 on the first page here for the ProfileImagePath expandable string value.

    OMG I fixed it; it was simple. After all the steps above, I had tried to change the name of the user folder from "Documents" to "druek" while I was still in the druek account. I couldn't change it because it was grayed out.

    When I went to get the screenshots you asked for from the Admin account, I changed the user folder name there. It persisted, even after a restart. Easy.

    Thanks for your patience and quick responses. I feel so dumb.
