Fella's,

I have XP Pro. I have been using it for about a year on the Laptop I use all the time for everything. Yesterday, for the 1st time it was configured for network use. When I logged onto the network, it looked like a brand new machine. When I am at home and not on the network, I do not have to log in.

Here is the question, how do I set it up where the desktop and files and everything is the same when I am on the net work and off? The only difference I know won't be the same is the two network drives I have access too when logged in on the network at my office.

I think there has to be a way to do it with out having to 'redo' outlook and copy and paste the whole drive into the new folders and waste all that space.

Idears?

Thanks guys!

Chris

I believe you have to give access to those folders by sharing them. Then anyone who is on the network may also have access to those files.

Use your domain account all the time from now on whether you're on the network or not.  Make it the way you want it, and delete your old profile, keeping only the Administrator account as local to the machine.

what he said- whether you are connected to domain or not- you can still log onto your PC and get the same desktop

BEFORE YOU DELETE AN OLD PROFILE BE SURE TO GET ALL YOUR FILES OUT OF IT!!!

That's all.

eta: Typically your Outlook stuff is in a PST file. Search your old profile for it and you can move it anywhere you want and then go to file/open/outlook data file and chooose the PST file. You should see all your emails. Typically.
