W2k user profiles

[mcarboni]

Does anyone know how I can setup two different profiles where one is for home and another for office. Specifically, I would like the office profile to have the WSP client enabled for our Proxy server and the home to have it disabled. It is a pain to have to boot up, disable/enable, and then reboot for this.

Thanks

You need to create another hardware profile. Right click on My Computer, go to the Hardware tab, click on Hardware Profiles button at the bottom of the screen. You will then be given the option to look at the properties of the current profile, copy the current profile, or rename it. Choose Copy...another window will appear where you can rename it to whatever you like. Reboot the PC, pick the new profile, go to Local Area Connection properties and remove what you don't want, i.e., clients, adapters, etc. That's about it, I believe. You can also go to Device Manager and disable other devices you don't want to run in that profile. Reboot the thing and go into both profiles to be sure that what you want to be in each profile is indeed there and enabled.
