Does anyone know an easy way to combine all the user profiles on a Win 2K Pro machine into one? Network went down a few days ago, when the connection was restored, I ended up with the same userid, but for some reason, a different user profile. I would like to tell this thing to use the same user profile, no matter what the login is. Is this possible??

There is a Copy To feature in the user setup.
You can also do it by editing the registry - for example, if you have two users - user1 and user2:
After creating the users, login to each account that you created to set up the initial profile. Then log back in as Administrator.
Run regedit.exe, and do a search for the user you want to modify. If you want user2 to use user1's profile, then search for user2 in the registry and change all values with user2 to user1. Make sure you get them all - double check your work when done.
