    That is strange.
    However if you can't find another solution you can go likr this:

    To make a profile current before starting the program
    1. On the Windows desktop, right-click the program icon. Click Properties.
    2. In the AutoCAD Properties dialog box, Shortcut tab, under Target, enter /p currentprofile after the current target directory. For example, to make the profile User12 current, enter the following in Target: "c:\Program Files\<current release name>\acad.exe"/p user12
    3. Click OK. The profile name you enter is the current profile each time you start the program.

    It sounds like when AutoCAD starts something is specifying which profile to use at startup.
    Without looking at your machine, I would be at a loss to determine what though.

    Try like this:
    "c:\Program Files\<current release name>\acad.exe" /p "user12"
