Then why don't you want them to have their own profiles - that's the way 2k (and NT/XP) work - the profiles on win9x were an afterthought to allow some customisation - the ones in 2k are integral part of the operating system (needed for security & level of access, and users can secure their own profiles). Unless you're very short on disk space and very long on users (and if so, you need a new hard drive), what's the downside of users having profiles?
