how to share local user profile

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hi,

I recall seeing something about sharing local user profile by
local/domain user account (by modifying regedit setting and assigning
NTFS permission). Would someone pls. tell me where I can find that
information?

Thanks

Keith

Thanks, but it doesn't show which registry settings I have to modify to
point to different profile directory.

Hi,

In the registry, change the profile path for the local user to point to
the same profile folder as the domain user (or the other way around):

Take a look at this post:

If the user is not a local admin, you might need to to something on the
permission side. Use tip 4631 and 2240 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at

Thanks Tom,

I made the profileimagepath pointing to the local user profile directory
for the domain user and assign full control ntfs permission on this
profile directory.

When I logon, I am able the see the same desktop icons as the local
user. However, some of the settings are not preserved, e.g. IE homepage
and wall paper. These settings should be stored in the profile
directory, isn't it?

I have to put the domain user in the local admin group in order to see
the same desktop wallpaper as well as IE home page. Can I achieve the
same result without doing so (assign local admin right to the domain user).

Thanks

Hi,

Most likely it is a registry permission issue. See if applying full
rights to the domain user in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry branch
helps.

Thanks Torgeir,

I figured that the local user is in the local administrative group while
the domain user who use the profile is only in the local user group. As
long as I assign administrative right to the domain user and all the
profile settings are preserved.
