    There is no disabled button in advanced user profile management

    Had the same problem – the “Copy To” was still disabled.
    I got around it by closing the User Profile window (leaving System Properties window open). Then turned off Windows Enabler. Then re-opened the User Profile window (the same way as was done from System Properties). Then turned ON Windows Enabler (from the System Tray). The “Copy To” button then magically was enabled. Hope this helps someone. Thanks.

    UPDATE!! Please ignore my previous comment …

    If the ‘Copy To’ button still appears to be disabled then All you need to do is just click on the ‘Copy To’ button (even thought it looks disabled). Make sure you have turned Windows Enabler ON. Sorry, Cheers.

    Yes, this is written in the article. 🙂 You haven’t read through the article..

    From the article:
    Now, click on the disable button and it will become enabled thanks to ‘Win Enabler’ application, as you can see in the picture below.

    Jeez…just follow the guys instructions. The work like a charm…

    In the instructions where it says “click on the disable button”…..all you have to do is click on the grayed out “copy to” button and it will then change to an active button. I am using Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium if that helps.

    Doesnt work

  12. Nik says:

    It surely works, you just have to read through tutorial again. Make sure you did everything as mentioned in the article.

  13. Embersdad says:

    I went back and logged in as a different admin user and yes, it did work. Now if I can only find a way to automate it.

  14. Bobby says:

    The instruction;
    “Now, click on the disable button and it will become enabled…”

    Should read as:
    “Now, click on the “disabled” button and it will become enabled…”

  15. Nik says:

    Thanks for the correction, changed!
    Cheers!
