"Remote" Profile Load in Place

[Evan Broder]

Not entirely sure if this is the right newsgroup. Let me know if it isn't.

I tend to reformat anywhere from every 2-6 months. To save time, CDs, and
effort, I have a "documents" partition, D:, that contains my profile
(Desktop, Start Menu, My Docs, etc.) and a "system" partition, C:, that
contains Windows and my programs.

I'm running Win XP Home, and i used net user to set my profile path to D:.
However, every time I log in, it syncs my profile on D: to the "local"
profile at c:\Documents and Settings\Evan Broder, which includes syncing (or
maybe copying - I'm not sure) my 2 gig My Docs folder. Is there a way to
have it load my profile in place?

Thanks,
Evan Broder

Move the cache to D as well.

Make sure that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows =
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\<your number>
CentralProfile (the profile - if blank uses the value in =
ProfileImagePath)
ProfileImagePath (the cache)
--=20
