Re: "duplicate" files under Documents and Settings

This is normal and expected behavior. On a newly-joined-to-the-domain PC if you logon to the pc first, then to the domain you would end up with two profiles.
%username%
and
%username%.%userdomain%
Else if you logon to the domain first, then to the pc you would end up with
%username%
and
%username%.%computername%

After performing a fresh install of W2K Pro and loading a few applications, I
found the following folders under Documents and Settings:

1) Administrator
2) Administrator.PT109 (PT109 is the name of the computer).

I've seen this occur with user logins but not with the Administrator login.
I'd greatly appreciate any info as to the cause and resolution of this
occurance.
