RE: RE: LAN E-mail w/Outlook

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

I'm using Outlook, instead of Outlook express, just for that reason...

I don't remember how to move profiles on Win98, I stopped using it a long ago. I'm on Win2K and instructions for Win2K are here:

and here:

Maybe you can apply some analogy (although I doubt about it).

 

Sorry, I couldn't help you more. Time to move to Win2K ;-).

Thanks again guys, but I still have a few more questions.

RE:  Pointing OE to mailbox on "server"

I copied my Outlook Express mailbox data to my Win98 "server" and tried to point
OE to that location.  The Tools > Options > Maintenance > Store Folder would
allow me to point to any local directory, but not to any network drive.  The
"OK" button was greyed out for non-local drives.  I tried with both a mapped
drive and \\servername\...   Any ideas?

I am using client for Microsoft Networks.  Is there a "server for microsoft
networks" (Win98) that could/should be installed on the server?  I also tried
checking "log on NT domain" in the network setup with no joy.


RE:  User Profiles on "server"

I went to Control Panel -> Users and added user profiles there.  The profile
locations defaulted to C:\WINBLOWS\profiles\_username_

I tried hacking my registry--found a key (this is from memory so it may be off a
bit)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\winblows\currentversion\profilelist\_username_
I changed a key in there from C:\WINBLOWS\profiles\_username_ to the location on
the server.  When I would log in again, it would say "you haven't logged into
this machine before" and then create another user profile on the local machine.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the TweakUI suggestion James.  I'll give that a try this weekend.

Thanks again for all the help.  I hope that this thread is of some interest to
others, otherwise I would be happy to take it off-line.
