Desk top preferences

[antonio]

I work in an office that has 18 computer stations that are
shared and used by 40 different people. We run windows
2000 on most and XP on some.
Is there a way to set up user accounts that store specific
user preferences (ie desk top backround, short cuts, tool
bars, etc?) Allowing a person to "log in" to
windows/office so that it displays their general
preferences?

Antonio,

You need to have each and every person log into a different account on each
machine. If users roam from machine to machine and you would like to have
the same settings appear on each machine then you need to set them up with
roaming profiles. To enable roaming profiles you would need to configure
their account on your domain controller via Active Directory Users and
Computers. If you do not have a Windows 2000 domain then you cannot use
roaming profiles but you can still have a local profile stored on each
computer.

Hope this helps.
