When creating brand new users, regardless of whether they are specified as having roaming or local profiles, the user profile is created the same way--either from c:\documents and settings\default user or from Netlogon\Default User. So, its not clear, based on your description, why a new profile created as roaming would be created differently from a local one. Some possible reasons could be that for some users it found a different default profile (it will try to find one on Netlogon share on DCs first before looking in the local Default User folder). Another reason is that on one machine you are getting Group Policy that is changing the default theme and on the other you are not. Is there any GP configured in the environment?

This doesn't happen if I create a user with a local profile. I know this is going to fox some users - does anyone know how to stop it?
