[Samba] Switch profile from local to roaming?

[deff]

You had your answers right in front of ya.
Every xp includes "Files and Settings transfer wizard" (accessories->system 
tools) for this job.
It's simple :
1. login as local user, run wizard, select old computer, select some directory 
to store your data, click next, wait till its done, logoff.
2. login as new user, run wizard, select new computer, find directory you 
stored your data to, click next, wait till its done, relogon.

You're done. 

Migrated some 20 pcs with it and it was a breeze, however, there might be some 
issues with file ownerships, but users don't complain so neither do I.
