What's the difference between the following folders in Users (or documents and settings): testuser testuser.MYDOMAIN testuser.MYMACHINE I know what the second two are. the second is a domain based profile, the third is a local based profile. What's the first? Why do I see these types of folder names on machines and how would one log into that account? (the first one, with no extension) If I create a local user, it creates testuser.MYMACHINE. Where did the folder "testuser" come from? Thanks!

Hi, I show you an example. You have machine with user Peter. You connect this machine to domain, and in domain is User Peter. You log in to your computer with Peter account from domain. It will create folder Peter.MYDOMAIN. Sometimes computer lost rights to Users folder, and it must make new folder for each user. Because directory Peter exist, it will make directory Peter.MYMACHINE
