This should do it...
MOVE A USER PROFILE TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION
A user's profile stores his or her documents and contains
application
settings, all of which combine to create the environment
a user sees when
working from a particular logon account. At some point,
you might need to
move a profile for a user, such as after reinstalling
Windows on the
user's computer or restoring a user's profile to a
computer where a profile
of the same name already exists.
As an example, let's say you (or the user) reinstalled
Windows 2000 on a
computer named PC202. The user's old profile is located
in Documents And
Settings\barney, but Windows points the user to Documents
And
Settings\barney.PC202. One of the easiest ways to rectify
this problem is to
simply point the user's profile back to the original
location, assuming those
documents and other profile components are still valid.
To change profile location, log on as an administrator
and open the
Registry Editor to the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Then, look at the ProfileImagePath value for each profile
and find the
one that points to the new profile location. (In this
example,
%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\barney.PC202.)
Change the value of the
ProfileImagePath to point to the user's original profile
location, then close
the Registry Editor.
Finally, log off and log on as the user to verify that
Windows is now
using the desired profile location.
