a folder with the name
myuser.pdm

existing folder
\\myserver\myshare

Notes:
Once this procedure is performed, the Windows NT

still available to the user should he or she ever log on to a Windows NT
3.5x

tained separately. The administrator can remove the Windows NT
3.5x
profile if the user will only be using Windows NT 4.0-based computers.
