Dear all, i have the following problem, the outlook express & desktop settings are being overwritten every time i change the host. i was helped by Laurent HOFMANN (thanks a lot), who pointed out that the exclusion list in ntuser.ini excludes Local Settings from the files, which are being synchronized. However, I still can not figure out the way to change this list for all users. Even if i change it manually (in the user profile on the server) it is being overwritten with the same exclusion list after i log out. i also tried to make changes in the registry, but it did not help either. Any idia what might fix the problem? Thanks for your help. Dimirty
