darrelljon Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) Is there a difference between where Windows XP can store user profiles (such as the desktop folder) and other operating systems? Can Windows XP only store user profiles locally even on a networked computer? Whereas Linux can store user profiles on a network? Is this the case with Windows Vista?

FAT64 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 As far as I know, user profiles can be redirected pretty much anywhere with XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrelljon Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) At my network in work, when you close the PC down it says it is synchronizing. Also when you log in on another PC sometimes your desktop lacks your icons. Do you think they have set it up wrongly? There is a personal drive (G:) on the server and a shared drive (H:). But the user profile seems to be stored in C:. Edited December 4, 2008 by darrelljon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT64 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Don't get me started on the "Synchronizing" mularky! I always disable that, it just annoys me. If the profiles are stored on the "C drive", then they are local and will be different for each machine you logon to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
