Why does the user profile folders only have the .domain or can that
be something else like computer name. How do you get the .domain
after the profiles? or is that the .domain?

I have Windows XP Pro and no domains set up and none of my user
profiles look like the following:

The user profile are:
Susan.Computerroom (admin)
David.Computerroom (admin)
CHILDREN.Computerroom (admin)
Administrator (admin)

It can do with Computername...

username.0000
username.0001
