Configure
and manage user profiles.
User profiles automatically create and
maintain the desktop settings for each
user's work environment on the local
computer. A user profile is created for each
user when he or she logs on to a computer
for the first time.
More than one user can use the same
computer, and each receives desktop settings
when he or she logs on.
Customization of the desktop environment
made by one user does not affect another
user's settings.
A user profile defines customized desktop
environments, which include individual
display settings, network and printer
connections, and other specified settings.
You or the system administrator can define
your desktop environment.
Types of user profiles include:
Local user profile. A local user
profile is created the first time you log on
to a computer and is stored on a computer's
local hard disk. Any changes made to your
local user profile are specific to the
computer on which you made the changes.
Roaming user profile. A roaming user
profile is created by your system
administrator and is stored on a server.
This profile is available every time you log
on to any computer on the network. Changes
made to your roaming user profile are
updated on the server. |
