Turning OFF Network Profiles Safely

[Greg Dickie]

I'm betting it is not the profiles in general but the Internet Expoiter
settings in the prifile thats is causing your problems. It has been discussed
here before and I have seen it, this braindead app wants to save all its cache
files on the server!

Has anyone made a .reg to turn this off?
