Windows uses the “.v2” extension to distinguish between version 1 and version 2 profiles. Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 author version 1 profiles. You store these profiles in a folder with a name that matches the logon name of the user account. Windows Vista/7 authors version 2 profiles. You store version 2 profiles in a folder with the first part of the folder name matching the logon name of the user followed by “.v2” for the users roaming profile. So you can have a XP roaming profile and a
Vista/7 roaming profile for each user.
