There are a few registry entries you would need to modify. BTW, do you =
have
DELETE LOCALLY CACHED PROFILES set?
I would check HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows =
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.
There is a value called ProfilesDirectory. This would need to be =
changed.
I cannot remember what the other reg value you would need to change, but =
I
will get that for you.

Subject: [THIN] Can't change HOMEDRIVE variable
Hello,
I am having some problems and I am hoping that someone here may be able =
to
help. On my servers I have a C and D drive. I want to install all of =
my
applications on to C and have my profiles on D. I edited the
ProfilesDirectory registry key so that it would point to d:\documents =
and
settings. I copied the Default User and All Users profiles there and =
setup
all of the necessary ACL's. The new profiles work fine. If I login, =
new
users get created on the D drive. =20
I made this change right after I built the server. Now I am beginning =
to
install applications and I am having a problem. On one particular
application, it has a ini file that is located in c:\winnt. Installing =
the
application in Install mode gives me the behavior I need, but not as
expected. When I run the application it fails, because it can't find =
the
ini file. If I run FileMon from sysinternals I see what the problem is.
The application is trying to make a change to the file and the OS is
redirecting to c:\documents and settings\username\windows\file.ini
NOT D:\documents and settings\username\windows\file.ini. Since I have
changed the profile location, the call is failing.
I think that the problem is that the HOMEDRIVE variable is still set to =
C:.
Unfortunately I am not having any luck changing it to D:. I tried =
modifying
usrlogn.cmd without any luck. I also add HOMEDRIVE as a system variable =
and
that did not work. Can anyone help? Am I correct that the reason the =
OS is
telling the app to look in c:\documents and set... is because of the
HOMEDRIVE variable?
TIA,
Dan
