Customizable files are often stored in the folders that are part of your Windows user profile or in a custom location, such as a network or portable drive. The Windows user profile is divided into two parts; local and roaming.
- Local profiles. Contains settings and files that are available on a specific workstation, and are used to log on to a computer. Some files, such as material textures and drawing templates are stored under your local profile because of their size, they do not follow you from computer to computer.
- Roaming profiles. Contains settings and files that are made available when you log onto any computer within a network. Some files, such as your personal settings and documents, follow you from computer to computer.
