If I set logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U, Windows XP ends up storing the profile in a directory called "profiles" in the users' home directories. If I set logon path= \\%N\profiles\%U\WinXP or logon path= \\%N\profiles\%U\%m, Windows XP correctly stores the profile in a directory called "WinXP" or <machine name> in the profiles share. Am I not reading the documentation correctly, and this is actually the expected behaviour, or is this - as I suspect - anomalous? Hope someone can set me straight! :) Alex Satrapa
