    Which one is wired? Does that mean it's connected to your computer via USB?

    No they are not connected via USB.

    One is Wired ( as in TP Ethernet ) and the other is WiFi and both; print, scan and fax over IP.

    I'm sorry; TP Ethernet - Twisted-Pair Ethernet [ STP Ethernet - Shielded Twisted-Pair Ethernet ]

    Thanks. I should have thought about that. I still don't understand the setup but maybe there's an easier way around this. Would you consider creating another user account using the data for the secondary account? If so, take a look at this-

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14039

    This is the only proviso I see in there-

    "If you have e mail messages in an e mail program, you must import your e mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. If everything is working properly, you can delete the old profile."

    I don't know if that just applies to Outlook or all e-mail software. The software I use doesn't download messages to the hard drive.

    I would create a system restore point before doing so.

    Sorry for the late reply...


    I don't consider the current Profile "corrupted" enough to warrant creating and using a new profile. Especially over this one issue. I'd much rather learn and fix this issue.

    I tried, using Sysinternals Process Monitor and gauge Registry loading points for pointers of where the data is stored in HKCU. But that wasn't too helpful.
