And, let me add that if you are seriously concerned about anything in any of these folders you can copy them out ahead of time to a safe place, such as a different folder on the drive or even an external drive. Don't cut and paste, or they won't be available for the join the domain wizard.


I'd also add that there are aspects of roaming profiles which are incompatible between Vista and XP, and two different profiles will be kept. Desktop shortcuts, in particular, added on one system will not appear on the other.

I've not yet had enough experience to know which, if any, profile data is copied between them. Generally, it's a one-off migration from XP to Vista, I don't know how many people actually roam between them on a long-term basis.
