We want to work off line, at home, and then logged onto
the domain at work with a laptop. We want anything saved
to My Docs - or somewhere-- to appear whether at home or
at work. We want any favorites saved in MSIE at home or
at work to appear in both.

Setting up two profiles for a log in to ThisComputer and
to ThisDomain does not work. How is this supposed to be
done?

Thanks

You should be able to make your "My Document" Folder available offline
(Tools=>Folder Options in Windows Explorer and enable Offline Files if
it isn't already enabled - then right click on your My Document folder
and select the "Make Available Offline" option).

I typically prefer to use Laptops in Workgroup mode rather than join
the domain, but either will work.. Don't try to shift profiles,
either use the laptop in Domain mode or in Workgroup... If you keep
using the Domain mode, you just need to logon with your network
credentials while at home...
