Is there a Registry setting or some other way to Disable the default roaming profiles for all present and future useres on a XP box? I want do do this without having to change each user profile typ individualy.

You can set a Group Policy on an XP machine to change this setting for all users.

Type 'gpedit.msc' from a 'run' command and navigate to the computer configuration, administrative templates, system, user profiles options. The last policy option will allow you to disable roaming profiles for all user accounts on the machine.

Any time you use the administrative templates in Group Policy, you are effectivly tweaking the registry, but in a safer manner than using regedit.
