Hello,
I have a laptop running XP Pro that used to be connected to a domain. This domain was deleted few months ago, and till yesterday I manged to login with the domain user credentials through the domain profile cached on the laptop. However, yesterday the cached profile expired (or so it seems). Can I use any of your tools to un-migrate the domain profile (through its copy on my laptop) to a local user profile, maintaining all the settings and configuration of the domain user profile?
Thanks,
Haim

Hi Haim,
Yes, you certainly can. You just need to choose the local computer name from the "Enter the Domain" drop-down list on the "User Account Information" page, and enter the local account name.

This worked, thanks. Now the new local user account is sharing the profile originally serving as a domain local profile cache. If I now access the wizard again Also, could you please point to some information on how user profile data is stored Thanks, Haim |

Hi Haim,
Once you have shared the profile, there isn't a way to "unshare" it with User Profile Wizard.
Profile information for each user is stored in the registry by user SID under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList key. One way to stop "sharing" the profile would be to delete the subkey for the old domain user SID. However, given that the old domain has been deleted, having the entry there isn't going to cause any problems.
