[Question] What procedures create a local profile ?

Recommended Posts

I'm curious as to what kind of procedures will create a local profile on an XP pro machine.

Scenario :

Let's say my machine is a member of a domain. Somebody else has administrative rights also, USERX. I go into SystemDrive\Documents and Settings\ and there are no extra profiles in existence, other than mine and the system ones.

The next day, USERX's profile is now there, and the event log just shows generic logon/logoff information repeatedly.

Aside from the obvious answers of USERX sitting at my desktop and logging in, thus creating a profile (or using RDP to log in to my workstation), what else can be done remotely that will result in a USERX profile being created ? Let's not count those answers, because I know those aren't happening.

I'm asking just out of curiousity. I notice that sometimes when people connect to my machine through a scripting procedure of sorts, a profile is created for them.
