Does anyone know the location and name of the files that hold the mapped drive and network printer information for each user. I want to migrate this information for a PC refresh cycle. Thanks in advance for your help with this topic.

Is there a trick to getting this to work? I tried copying the ntuser.dat file and it kept crashing the system. Going from NT to 2000, and 2000 to xp.

thanks

You will not be able to use the NTUSER.DAT file between OS versions.

If your eventual target is XP, use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard of XP: or the User State Migration Tool if on a Domain.
