The first step is to create the profile that you will distribute. Log on with this account to a workstation that has profile-dependent hardware characteristics compatible with the computers on which the profile will be used. Then design the profile. Log out to save the profile. System files aren't usually a big deal because NT knows where to find them and installs most of them by default.
Applications are a different matter.
If the profiles you distribute include shortcuts to applications, the shortcuts must point to valid folders and files. Consequently, you need to ensure that organization standards specify how and where to install applications. The profile you create will be a local profile. After you design the profile, copy it from the profile administrator's folder to the profile folder of the target user. 1.In Control Panel, System, select the User Profiles tab.
