what dictates one being created over another?


i got a BDC with a folder containing roaming profiles of users. i can see a user with both kinds of profiles.

i was thinking if one logs off a NT machine it creates a .usr

if same person logs off a XP machine it creates (uploads to the bdc) a .pds



can I 'force' a type of profile folder to be used? i think in USERMANAGER, if I look up a user account and go to 'profiles'

I see a path field to specify where the profile should be dumped.. and I can type .pds or type .usr in there..
