How To Copy Profile In Windows 7 for Default Domain NETLOGON

In Windows 7 for some reason you cannot use “Copy To” in the profile section. This is very poor and contrary to what Microsoft says. Using this method you can copy your custom profile to another location enabling you to create a netlogon\Default User.v2

How To

• Create you custom profile. Logoff this user and login to another admin account
• Open My Computer and hold down ALT. This will show the file menu. Click Tools then Options.

• Change the Radio Button to: Show Hidden Files
• Uncheck Hide Protected Operating System Files

• Now Navigate to:

c:\users

• Rename the Default Folder
• Rename you custom profile to Default

• Now you can use Copy To

• If you are setting up a default domain profile copy the profile to:

\\server\NETLOGON\Default User.v2
