Assign A User Account A Mandatory User Profile (XP)

  • No Related Post

A mandatory user profile prevents any changes from being saved when a user logs off the computer. For example, if they make changes to the desktop, these changes will be discarded when the user logs off. Once you have a mandatory user profile created and saved to a shared folder, you can assign a mandatory to a user profile using the following steps:

  1. Click Start and click Control Panel.

  2. Double click the Administrative Tools applet.
  3. Double click the Computer Management applet.
  4. Expand System Tools/ Local Users and Groups.
  5. Double click the Users folder.
  6. In the right pane right click the user account you want to assign a mandatory profile to.
  7. On the Profile tab, type in the path to the location of the mandatory user profile (Ntuser.man).
  8. Click OK.
