Dominik,

To be honest, I have never had a reason to employ mandatory profiles so I
can't remember exactly how to do it.  I only know that they do exist and
will work to force a user into a semi-static GUI.  If I were to employ them,
I'd likely goto the Microsoft Knowledge Base or look in some of my
documentation.  You suggestion of changing the extension on the user.dat to
.man sounds very familiar though.  Give it a shot.  Worst case, you'll have
to restart with a boot disk and change the extension back.


Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Greg
