Installed with Windows XP Professional SP2. Joined as a domain member.
This workstation is shared by different domain user. User using his own
domain account to login to the shared workstation. When each different
domain user login to the workstation, Windows XP will creates each
indiviual profile in the C:\Documents and Settings\ . It will have many
profiles eventually. Very messy!

I prefer the profile to be stored in local drive, C:\Documents and
Settings\

I was wondering can i do the following,
- create a customize profile (name: ShareProfile) in C:\Documents and
Settings.
- any domain user login to this workstation will use the same profile,
ShareProfile. Basically, all user will be seeing
the same desktop.
- Windows XP will NOT create new profile in the C:\Documents and Settings
when new domain user login.
(That is, in C:\Documents and Settings folder, there's always have only
one profile, which is "ShareProfile".

You need to do a little research on "Mandatory Profiles" and "Roaming
Profiles".
