How can I make a domain user and a local user share the same local profile?

I have a laptop I bring back and forth. I use a local profile on my laptop for my domain account.

How can I make it so that chadr (Domain login - member of domain admins and local admins) use the same profile as the local login chad (local admins).

I thought adding my domain account to the local admins might let me logon locally without a domain for credentials.
 
Not sure if this will work, but did you try to set the two login names to be the same name (chadr as both the local login and the domain login)? Also in user manager (local user and groups) you can set the Profile path of the local login. If you give the local login write rights to the domain logins' profile and then set it in the profile path it should use that profile.

But if it was me I would just use the same domain login locally and on the network. Windows XP allows you to use cached credentials to login. So if you login to the domain once, XP will cache those credentials and you can login using the same username when disconnected from the network. By default AD allows you 10 cached logins.
