Microsoft Windows NT Server White Paper 25
Viewing the Contents of the Profiles Directory
on a Local Computer
All locally cached versions of User Profiles are stored in the profiles subdirec-
tory of the Windows NT root directory. The profiles subdirectory maintains
each user’s profile separately by generating a specific directory for each user.
Within that directory, the registry hive, NTuser.dat, and the rest of the profile
structure folders are kept. If a user is allowed to view context menus or has
administrator privileges, the user can right-click the Start button, click the Ex-
plore option, and have the Explorer window automatically open to his or her
profile directory with the contents displayed. In addition, administrators can
click the Explore All Users option to display the All Users profile directory.
