Windows 2000: Configuration files, folder redirection, and Administrative Templates

Configuration file

The user's desktop, display, network, printer, mouse, and other items are set up by user profile management. The configuration file is divided into the following three categories:

1, local user profiles, usually located in the "C:\Documents and settings\%username%" path, the user can be arbitrary, not the control of the list.

2, Roaming user profile, which is set up for network domain logon users, is generally located in a server's shared folder, to ensure that users regardless of which pc from the domain login can get their favorite user environment.

3, the mandatory user profile, which is a roaming user profile based on the enhanced. To do this, enter the administrative Tools \ Active Directory Users and Computers and type a UNC path name such as "\\Server\Share\%Username" in the properties \ Profiles for a user account (Figure 1). Of course, you should build a shared folder beforehand. So when you re logged in to the account, you'll see a file named "Ntuser.dat" under that path, which is a configuration file, but a bit shy (hidden attribute). They are very different, roaming configuration can be changed, you can save, and coercion must change the above file to "Ntuser.man", and although you can also modify the environment after the login, but only for this use, can not save, the next login is still "nephew dozen lanterns--as usual."
