I think roaming profiles are something very common in a commercial environment? It is a very good solution for the typcial professional use case where you use most of the time the same machine but sometimes you switch the machine. During your daily work you don't have the bottleneck of network/server access and when logging out, all data is stored again on the server so backups can be easily made. It combines the advantages of a networked home/profile directory and a fat client. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
