To create a local account that shares your domain profile:

01. Log on as the local Administrator and create a local account with the same UserName as your domain account.

NOTE: Your PC can not be a domain controller.

02. Logon as this new account and logoff.

03. Logon as your domain account.

04. Use Regedt32 and select the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key.

05. On the Security menu, press Permissions.

06. Press the Add button.

07. In the Look in: box, toggle your local computer name. Select the new UserName account you created in step 01.

08. Press Add and then press OK.

09. On the Security tab, select the new ComputerName\UserName account and check both Read and Full Control.

10. Press the Advanced button and check both boxes at the bottom of the Permissions tab.

11. Press Apply and Press OK until all dialog boxes are closed.

12. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

and locate the new SID by inspecting each ProfileImagePath for \Documents and Settings\UserName.ComputerName.

13. Double click this ProfileImagePath and remove the .ComputerName, so it is equal to your domain profile.

14. Exit Regedt32.

15. Delete the \Documents and Settings\UserName.ComputerName folder.

16. Grant the local UserName full control on the \Documents and Settings\UserName folder / sub-folders.

17. Logoff and logon locally as UserName. You will see your domain (and local) profile.
