  8. Roaming Profiles • Profiles store things such as: • Desktop icons • Program settings • Items in your recycle bin • Internet favourites/bookmarks • Standard Profiles are stored on your local drive. Roaming Profiles are stored on a network drive. • Why Roaming Profiles? • So when you to move to another computer, you will still have the ‘look’ of your own computer, access to your Internet favourites, etc. • If profiles get too large your log in and log off process can get quite slow • What can you do? • Store all your files on your N: drive • Don’t store any files on your desktop (just shortcuts to files and programs) • Empty your Recycle bin regularly
