How can I force WindowsXP to use only one profile for every person that logs on to our network domain using this computer?

will I have to continually update the default profile when system changes are made?

I don't think a mandatory user profile will work. Co-workers may need to sign on to this person's computer. I want the profile to always be the computer "owners" profile. The co-worker will have a different profile on his own computer. Not sure if this will work.

stkarma,

Can I suggest you think through exactly what you want and post again (if linney's links don't point you in the right direction). You've got a bit of a contradiction:-

'use only one profile for every person that logs on to our network'

'The co-worker will have a different profile on his own computer'
