You were right, adding it to the specific shares helped me out, thanks a 
lot!

However, I still get this "funny" profile with an empty desktop and no 
XP style, so it seems that something is just not correct. Do you use XP 
as a client to your PDC? How does your profile look when you log on for 
the first time?

Thanks
Florian
