c. Windows XP Professional creates a user profile when you create a new local
user account.
d. You must create each user profile by copying and modifying an existing user
profile.
The correct answers are A and B. C is not correct because Windows XP does not create a user
profile when you create a user account, but rather the first time someone logs on using that
user account. D is not correct because a user profile is created automatically the first time a
person logs on with a user account.
4. Which of the following statements about user profiles are correct? (Choose all that
apply.)
a. Users should store their documents in home directories rather than in their
My Documents folders.
b. The Profile tab in the account-name Properties dialog box for a user account
allows you to create a path for the user profile, logon script, and home folder.
c. A user profile contains the My Documents folder, which provides a place for
users to store personal files.
d. When users change their desktop settings, the changes are reflected in their
user profiles.
The correct answers are B, C, and D. A is not correct because the My Documents folder is
located within a user’s home directory automatically when a home directory is created. Users
do not need to go looking for their home directory.
5. What three tasks must you perform to create a home folder on a network server?
First, create and share a folder in which to store all home folders on a network server. Second,
for the shared folder, remove the default Full Control permission from the Everyone group and
assign Full Control to the Users group for users that will reside in this shared folder. Third, provide
the path to the user’s home folder in the shared home directory folder on the Profile tab of
the Properties dialog box for the user account.
Lesson 5 Review

A group is a collection of user accounts. A group simplifies administration by allowing you to
assign permissions and rights to a group of users rather than to each individual user account.

users can do with a resource such as a folder, a file, or a printer.
