I have a user who has a laptop running XP. This person left his positio and took his personal laptop, which was attatched to his previous employers domain. Without thinking I joined his computer to my domain. He had some applications under his old login that he needs access to. Is there any way to get him loged in to the cached login he was using from his old domain?

Thanks.
 
Were the applications running locally, or from the server?

You should be able to browse through documents and settings to locate his old profile /start menu/programs or Desktop and find the link to this app. see if it works, check out the target of the link to see if it was local or not.
 
The application ran from the server but was cached locally, it was Sales Logix.
I am going to try the link from the users old start menu options.

Thanks.
 
I tried to run under the users old profile however it appears that there was an "ALL USER" profile and it is the same as that he has now. Not sure where to go from here.
 
System Properties > Advanced > User Profiles

Copy domain.old profile to domain.new profile

Be sure to clear temp folders and cookies from domain.old
