Folder redirection is like that, but it doesn't load the profile (user settings).<br />

Normally folder redirection is enough, but you can use it with roaming profile avoiding the longs logons and logoffs.

When you have a new user that logs on to a computer with a roaming profile does XP pull the info from the server roaming profile share and then store that info on the computer your on and then once you logoff save the changes? &nbsp;or is it always writing back and forth to the server? &nbsp;So say I just create a new file on the desktop as it seems it doesn't immediately save to the server? &nbsp;Is this the usual way the roaming works and can you make it so it is directly saved on the server.
