converting from roaming, back to local profiles

what happens when you want to get rid of roaming profiles, and convert back
to local ?

Do users have to recreate all of their custom settings, or does the OS
automatically switch the profile type from roaming to local ?

I'm going to enable the "Only Allow Local User Profiles" setting in Group
Policy

the local copy already exists so why do you think this has te be
recreated?
off course this is true if a user logs on to another machine
and this over and over again

Since the profile has to be downloaded locally at logon, you just need to
ensure that everyone has logged in at least once on the machine they
normally use, and their profile will be cached locally. So, when you disable
roaming, they will have all of their settings as expected from the locally
cached version under c:\documents & settings\%username%

You might need to disable:

Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, User Profiles,
Delete cached copies of roaming profiles

so that a local copy of the Roaming Profile will be retained on the local
computer and get the users to logon and logoff to get a local copy of the
profile before you disable Roaming Profiles.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
