Save Profile on a PC shared by others!!!!!!Hello,
I currently share my PC with others, and everytime I log back on to the PC, I have to change my settings back to the way I had them. This includes moving the desktop icons to the screen I had them on and the Start toolbar. We also have 4 screens that we like to keep at particular seetings that we are accustomed to. Is there any way to save my Profile so that when I log back onto the PC it will go back to the settings I set up. Any help would be appreciated..... Thanks, -- Bob In Windows XP this is done with separate user accounts.

on to the user account that's what they'll see. You can use group policies to limit the changes that can be made to an account. You may find the Internet Explorer Administrators Kit useful. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Batz38 wrote: Show quote > Ok, but how do I set this profile up to stay the same way everytime I log > on.... > > Thanks, I have my user account set up the way I want it, and the other people that
share this PC are set up also. But I guess I am missing something. What do I check/change so that everytime I log onto the Lan at work, that my desktop icons and monitor settings stay the way they are right now when I am logged on. I am not too familiar with what needs to be done to rectify this. Any additional help would be appreciated....

Gordon,
Yes this PC I am using does use a domain and it is my work PC. So basically there is nothing that can be done to set it up so that each user when they login in that they use the standard desktop. Nothing can be changed??? -- Show quoteBob "Gordon" wrote: > "Batz38" <Bat***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:54C1DF3E-A926-48B9-BBAC-46E1671F1B4A@microsoft.com... > >I have my user account set up the way I want it, and the other people that > > share this PC are set up also.

Yes this PC is the PC at work. We do log in to the US1 domain. So basically there is nothing that can be done. I will have to keep changing my settings everytime I login? Any help would be apreciated...
