    Angry Roaming Profiles

    i've got ACAD Land Desktop running successfully with roaming profiles, but have one thing that isn't working:

    is there a way to get simple options, such as background colors, etc, the same for a user on multiple machines? i cna get the sdsk.dfm file, and the paths to work, but it doesn't hold some of the other standard settings. any ideas?

    Background colors are stored in the profile, and the profile is stored in HKCU in the registry.

    It has been a whle since I worked with roaming profiles. Does HKCU roam?

    not sure if that does or not, i'm going to guess no, since it doesn't currently work. i exported the profile to a directory that does roam, (the .arg file) and i have the desktop shortcut reading that, but it;'s still not transferring all the settings. i'll keep working on it

    Once a profile exists in AutoCAD, attempts to read the ARG will be ignored, since the profile already exists.
