Hi, i would like to know can i and other colleague can save our own desktop settings in particular location so that when we login to other computer, we can straight away get our own setting rather than setup a new setting on that computer because of my office do not use roaming.

Many thanks.

use the File and Settings Wizard to backup your settings, copy backup to a server, then restore settings on your new PC.

If you want to just us any computer and do not want to transfer all your files and settings, I bet your Administrator and your IT people would not like it. In an Microsoft network with Win2000 servers and active directory,you should be able to log on to any computer and with a few clicks have email and access to your drives. But programs and setting are not there. If you transfer all your things to each computer you could have program errors because of installed different versions. And other problems like not having enough disk space.

yes use the files and settings transfer wizard
then on the new machine create the new account with the account name of your choice

log into that account and run the files and settings transfer wizard to restore that account on the new machine
