I just realized I wasn't 100% clear in my question. What I meant is : can you have a hardware profile associated with a user profile so that, if I boot up the "music studio" profile it automatically loadu up the appropriate hardware profile?
For example, I would like to boot up in my "music studio" user profile and have it automatically boot up with a hardware profile with no modem, no hardware aceleration, none but absolutely essential services (i.e. no antivirus, firewall, etc). And if I boot up in my "web" profile, it would have modem, firewall, antivirus, etc. load up too. Or boot up in the "photo" profile and have the hardware profile optimized for Photoshop.
Can you associate hardware and user profiles like that, or would you have to boot up a hardware profile and then choose a user profile?
