Hello All,

What is the use of the hidden system file NTUSER.INI please?

I have some trouble in moving users around in a Windows 2003 Server SBS
with XPP-SP2 Clients, mainly on Outlook, and I find in that file on the
Clients a line reading:

[General]
ExclusionList=Local Settings;Temporary Internet -
Files;Historique;Temp;Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Thank you.

D.

[[The ntuser.ini file is used to set up the user roaming profile components
that are not copied to the server.]]
http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/windows/win2k/win2kusers.html

The ExclusionList is for excluding directories in roaming profiles.

The same info is also found here...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\
CurrentVersion\Winlogon
ExcludeProfileDirs

System tool may not correctly display the user profile size in Windows
Server 2003

My X "high jacked" my laptop & I finally got in admin to get things restored, but it's obvious that someone was trying do do something to my system. The Guest was on, & the network was flipping every 2 sec. I ran spybot on systems check & some other trusted programs, but I'm deleting the guest & im gettin the same ntuser.1
Ntuser.2 both of which I deleted & now ntuser.ini
This woman is bound to try to hack into my system someway & not comp savvy, but knows people that may be. The point is I had to turn mic & cam off as well as other precautions. Can I delete all of these without damaging me as the admin?! On top of all of this it will not let me change my password! I changed the comp name, but idkw to to @ this point? I've waited for the detectives to recover it for over 2 months (from said crazy). What can I do to not screw up my only working device @ the moment?! Plz help....
