problems using a laptop at work and home - Windows XP Pro

[Alex]

Hi.

I use my laptop both at work and at home. Although i am the only user on the
laptop, I appear to have two profiles - one for when I log onto the network
domain at work, and one for when I am at home.

This is causing me difficulties for example, if I receive some emails onto
the laptop when I am at work, I go home and want to work on them, and then I
cannot see them in my Outlook in box

I am sure i have done something wring - can someone help me please. I just
need to set up the laptop so that I have one profile, but when at work i
need to be able to access the network drives, printers etc.

Thanks

Alex

It's normal... When you're on a domain, the computer create an account called
Yourname.Domain and when you're at home, it create Yourname.

I don't know if there is a trick to put them together or to share an outlook
account but I'm sure someone here will answer you!

Have a great day

p.s: Have you tried to log on with your Yourname.Domain account at home? It
will say that you don't have link to network but I'm almost sure that it work
(XP keep memerie of the password I think so it don't have to connect to the
domain... But I'm not 100% sure! Try it

Hi J-F
Yes that worked, can try and log onto dfomain, and its can find server, so
loads loacl settings Ok.

Now, any ideas how I can merge profiles and copy all files from one profile
to another?
