I am not familiar with "domain user". This has always been a stand alone
computer-sometimes connected to a WiFi, Comcast, or Sprint network.
When I bring up my User Profiles, all profiles are Type- Local and Status-
Local.
I have various profiles-
Administrator
User1
User2
Temp
..and a couple of others
All are Type- Local and Status- Local/. If select "Change Type" I only have
one choice- Local profile.
When I reboot my computer, I do not get a choice of users to log into. It
automatically logs into User1.
If I select Start>Logoff>Switch User I get a choice of all the profiles
except Administrator.
I hope this answers your questions.
BTW, I did reply to your comments in the Help/Support newsgroup. Also I
have added the Help/Support Newsgroup so this thread will appear there also.
Thank you for your help.
