DiCeR DiCeR Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-03-11 Posts: 7 Loc: Oslo, Norway	[Moderator (Sealeopard): Moved thread from 'Scripts' to 'General' forum due to lack of script in body] I know I can change it from roaming to local with the GUI in windows, but is there any way of changing it in a batch? Doing it with Kixtart or some other tool is perfectly acceptable. Does anyone know if it can be done? [ 29. June 2003, 19:48: Message edited by: sealeopard ]

Changing the value of one or more key is easy. Knowing which one to change is the hard bit. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ ... seems to contain a list of active profiles, both roaming and local, but I have no clue as to which one I need to change the "State" key of... Here is the confusing bit: I have 4 users on my machine, two profiles, and three entries in the profile-list. How do I resolve my own ID there? If my username is in the string "ProfileImagePath" - can I safely rely on it being my entry? [ 29. June 2003, 16:40: Message edited by: DiCeR ]

Secondly, read the FAQ Forum, namely Registry Tools . Use these tools to monitor the registry keys/values that change when you manually set a profile to local/roaming. Most likely, you will need to delete the CentralProfile value, however, this will prohibit you from turning a local profile back to roaming. An existing profile turns local if you add a value UserPreference=0 and UserPreference=1 turns it back into roaming. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
