Morning all.

I just found another one of those WinXP - Win2K differences just recently. Has anyone noticed that you can no longer copy the "Administrator" user profile to the "Default" user profile under the "User Profiles" section anymore?

I would appreciate if anyone could explain to me what Microsoft has done to compensate for this and if there is a workaround or a fix for it.

I'm trying to create a single user profile to exist locally so that when any of my users login to that system they will just get the one default user profile. I can't imagine Microsoft would force you to purchase there Win2K3 Server OS in order to make you pay for a roaming profile. Excellent Microsoft marketing strategy (heavy sarcasm here).

Thanks in advance either way.

Disable fast user switching in control panel, then you can logon normally with whatever account you want.
