Yes, it was maybe a sync trouble. But after some trying i realized it was not a good way for two reasons: At the end windows xp tried to sync the folders loosing as much time as with the usual roaming profile; Disabling the sync i used to loose something anyway. So now i'm looking up a new solution: activated the 'use only local profile' in the gpedit.msc config tool, so the client doesn't even think to have to deal whith something roaming. disabled offline file setting so if there's no connection i just don't see anything ( a bit rude but looks clean and straight) mapped the documents and the other profile folders to the X: (logon drive) network volume. Now waiting for mor disasters. Any experience in 1gb profile user, and network profiles would be appreciated. thanks L.Cerini
