Creating a roaming user

There are three ways to create a roaming user:
Train a new user with the Roaming User feature turned on
Copy an existing local user into the network roaming user location
Convert an existing user into a roaming user with the Manage User dialog box
To train a new roaming user
1
Make sure that no local user is open. Click Close User on the Dragonbar
NaturallySpeaking menu if one is open.
2
Open the Administrative Settings dialog box by clicking Administrative
Settings on the Dragonbar Tools menu.
3
Select the Enable check box and make sure the network directory for the
network roaming user and the local directory for the local roaming user are set
(see the procedures in the section Setting up the Roaming User feature).
4
Click OK.
5
Open either the Open User or the Manage User dialog box and make sure that
the Location of user files box points to the network directory location of the
network roaming user. If it does not, click the arrow a select the correct location
from the list, or click the Browse button to locate the directory using the browse
for folder dialog box.
6
Click New and begin training the user as you would any other user. See the
chapter (reference here to chapter on getting started) for more information.
When you are finished training the user, the program copies the user files into
the network roaming user location specified in the Location of user files box.
You can also copy a local user into the network directory of the network roaming
user. This has the advantage of allowing you to turn a number of local users into
roaming user with a single operation.
To copy a user into the network user location
1
Double-click the My Computer icon and navigate to the location of the local
user files you want to convert to roaming users.
