Laptop for domain & workgroup

[Tom Allen]

I am currently a domain admin and have never had a need to have a
computer on a domain at work, and a workgroup at home.

Now have a new laptop, which I need just this.

Any easy way to create a XP Pro login for domain, and one for
workgroup?

Thanks in advance!

Information from MVP Lanwench:
Note - you don't need to change to a workgroup just to access resources
on it. You shouldn't play with your laptop's network settings at all.
Once you've logged in using your domain account (using cached
credentials), and have an IP address on the home network, you can map
drives, use printers, whatnot, very easily - one way, in a command
line:

net use x: \\computername\sharename /user:computername\username <enter>
