Thank you for your answer Alex.

I can tell you it is possible with XP.
I can log on my computer:
as "<my_computer_hostname>\lmhelp"
as well as "<a_samba_domain_name>\lmelp"
using exactly the same profile located at
"C:\Documents and Settings\lmhelp".
It is very convenient.
But to do so, one has to edit the registry.

Apparently it is what Vista is doing...
A c:\Users\lmhelp.<a_samba_domain_name> is being created.

I am not sure I understand that.
NEW:
----
I have found a little thing:
I have added:
- a DWORD value
- in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System"
- with name "LocalProfile"
- and value 1 (to say "Only allow local user profiles").
I actually it works: I find again my previous profile.
But now, I want my "ProfileImagePath" key to be set to the unique
local profile I want to use: "c:\Users\lmhelp"
Simply changing the value:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows NT
-> CurrentVersion -> ProfileList -> ProfileImagaPath"
from "c:\Users\lmhelp.<a_samba_domain_name>"
to "c:\Users\lmhelp"
doesn't work.
I cannot log in as "<a_samba_domain_name>\lmhelp" again after
that change.
Thanks in advance for your help.
