In User Manager I have defined the following location for my users to have their respective profiles to be stored:
\\Servername\Profiles$\Username

However when they logoff their machines their profiles are be saved to their home directories. Istheir any way that I can force Windows 98 to go to the location I specifty in User Manager?

Thanks!

Roaming profiles only work for Windows NT clients. The workstation would have to be running Windows NT 4.0 or Win2k Pro.

How come it is saving it to the home directories of my Win98 users? When I go from PC to PC my profiles follows me. I just don't want it filling up my home directories. Can I change where these files are dropped?

Thanks!

go into profile and create new user e.g. administrator with all rights.
restart and login as administrator.
but if you the computer lockup you will be like every other user.
