[Samba] Persistant Z drive in XP

Then my Win98 users won't have roaming profiles, correct? My O'Reilly
book defines logon home as setting the directory for all Windows
Platforms, and to achieve roaming for 95/98/Me add the /.win_profile. 
 
Let me guess. I can't have my cake and eat it too..?
 
There must be some crafty way around this. Can the smb.conf file
determine platform and then branch?
 
Thank you,
