A few days ago I decided that I wanted to have all my documents and settings on my server so it didn’t matter which computer I logged into I could access this files. I have done this with window directory services before, but I really didn’t want the hassle of installing a Windows Server or configuring wine to do so. Also it’d mean I’d have to buy Windows Pro rather than home on my clients. I setup samba on my nice freebsd server so I could get a share like… \\fruit\mwheeler\Windows . Samba was easy to install in freebsd. Now just map a network drive using the wizard to a nice letter like U: to \\fruit\mwheeler\ making sure you use the “login using differnt username” or something feature and make sure it reconnects on login. Now for the fun part, some nice registery editing. Located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ User Shell Folders are keys that point to where your files are stored just change the keys from  (for example)

 Desktop - C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\Desktopto…

 Desktop - Z:\Windows\DesktopThere are a few I didn’t change such as start menu and program, basiclly use your common sense, oh and as always, make a backup of your registery first. When you login you may be a “Incorrect Function” error or something along those lines, just ignore it, still works afaik.
