Guest JohnB Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 I just tried this for the first time and got mixed results. Not all settings showed up when I tried the new profile. This is on Server 2003 with the workstation being XP. This is what I did: - created an account called profile - logged in as profile and set the Desktop, etc the way I wanted it. One of the things I set was the wallpaper. I created a BMP file and saved it to My Pictures, and then chose that with Display Properties. - I then logged in with an admin account and, from System Properties>Advanced>User Profiles, I copied the profile for user "profile" to \\Server\profiles\AnotherUser - Set the Profile Path for AnotherUser to \\Server\profiles\%username% - logged in as AnotherUser Everything looked good except a couple things; The BMP file was in the My Pictures folder but, it did not show up as the Windows wallpaper. When I checked the wallpaper settings in Display Settings, it was listed as the current wallpaper. Weird. So I browse to it and select it, and now it shows. Also, in My Document, I created 2 sub-folders; Excel Files and Word Files. And set Excel and Word's respective "File Location" options to those folders. (I tested that to make sure it worked while logged in as user=profile) But, that didn't get carried over when AnotherUser logged in. Is this expected behavior? Or did I do something wrong? Thanks
