Also, FYI, you can set this domain-wide in group policy if you have
Active Directory.  Under Computer Configuration, Windows Settings,
Local Policies, Security Options.  "Interactive logon: Number of
previous logons to cache (in case domain controller is not available)"

Your laptops could be moved to a separate OU from your desktops (common
setup as GPO differs often between the two) then you could have all the
Desktop machines set to 0 and the laptops set to 1 - most laptops are
single user machines anyway.

This would give you the best of both, your laptop users would retain
their single profile and be able to access their machines whilst not
connected to the network and your Desktop machines wouldn't cache
credentials.
