How to Log on to a Roaming Profile
When a user's profile is stored on a network server instead of an individual computer it is referred to as a roaming profile. A user may log on to his roaming profile from any computer on the network and have access to his individual application settings and data. If you are already logged on to a computer using a local profile, you will not have access to the settings and data from your roaming profile. However, for users of Windows-based computers, it is possible to log on to a roaming profile even when already logged on to a local profile.
