I am setting up some computers running Windows XP pro at work.  Currently
most of our computers run win 98.  Each user has an account on a Windows
NT domain so that they can have access to shared network drives and printers on
 that domain.

My question is, what is the best way to make the Windows XP computers
work with the domain.  What I have set up currently is that when the user
logs onto their WinXP computer, it logs onto the domain with their domain
username/password.  It runs the NT logon script and mounts the shared
locations on the servers as the proper drive letters as it should.  But
what I do not want (I think) is for WinXP to use the user's profile on
the NT server.  (It does strange things like, "The administrator has
dissabled the display control panel" when trying to change the display settings,
and takes away access to various other settings in Control Panel that I need
access to properly configure their individual settings).

All in all, I think what I would like to do is make the computer run the
logon script, but have all of the user's profile stuff stored localy in
"\Documents and Settings\" like it is normally (and some of it already
is, I have noticed).  I certainly hope their is a way to do this.  Any
information/other solutions  at all would be helpful.  Thank you.
