I am building several XP machines from scratch and, for
reasons I won't get into here, need the above directory.
I found it by default on one of my builds but it doesn't
appear on a second one I've done. I realize this profiles
folder was used by NT and earlier operating systems, but
these builds are not upgrades, they are clean XP
installs. Any idea how to get that directory to appear or
at least why it would appear on one build and not the
other?
 
Deploy.CAB, on the XP setup CD, contains directions (in
the .chm files) for creating INF files to set the name
and path of the "ProfilesDir"
