Lex,

For question 2: Can I force the system to have personalized "My Documents"
folders for
each user after copying a custom profile to the Default User profile?

See if you can force this command-line when a new user logs in (the first
time):

rundll32 mydocs.dll,PerUserInit

Perhaps, you can add this command-line in the Custom default profile
template, though I've not done it practically yet.
