    Hi Scott,

    I can't remember the exact reason. I've always done it like that. A guy
    who works in the building across the way from me used to do it with one
    huge share and it was a constant nightmare. He has now switched to my
    way of doing it, and has never looked back, but I can't remember the
    exact pros and cons. Something to do with the way NT maps home
    directories and roaming profiles - maybe this has all changed in 2000....
