In vista I had two users. A local user named Dan and a domain user Dan. If I am logged in as the domain user the profile is under c:\users\dan.domainnamehere. I am writing a batch file (does that surprise any of you?)And when I copy something into the c:\users\%username% folder it goes to the local profile which is c:\users\dan. Does the %username% wildcard not know that I am logged into the domain? Also I have also tried deleting the local profile from the users folder and it still does not work.... It just creates a new directory for the local user.

You are awsome..... this worked perfectly. infact I don't need to make seperate batch files for xp and vista. thanks so much!
