User profile

Hi all,

The default user profile for Windows 2000 is c:\Documets and
Settings\<username>. How can I change it to other places? For example,
D:\Server01\<username>.

Thanks,
KK

Thanks for your advice. The acticle works well for an existing profile.

However, can we set something so that every newly create user would not
point to "c:\Documents and Settings" but point to "d:\Server01\<username>"?
I had tried changing the registry value "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ProfilesDirectory", however, when a new user
login, she would fail with "Profiles cannot be loaded"...

You'll need to also copy the file structure to the new location.

Thanks Patrick,

I had tried the method in the following KB, but got some unexpected result...
The result is I cannot login any more because it said cannot locate the
profile...

But I do something to work around. It seems foolish, but I can't find
something better than that. Here is what I do:

- copy the profile from c:\docume...\<username> to some other place by
logout script
- copy the files from other place back to c:\docume...\<username> by login
script

Am I foolish? haha

Thanks anyway,

KK
