[Samba] Samba PDC Questions

Hello,
I am setting up Samba as my primary domain controller for my network to
connect all my windows machines.  I can get the machines to join the
network, but I have a couple problems.  Maybe someone here can help:

1.) When switching from a workgroup (single client machines) to the 
domain,
is there a way to transfer the profiles, so everyone's 
desktop/icons/files
are the same as they were?

2.) On the local machine, I use MultiRes to change the resolution of my
screen on Windows 2000.  When I log in, it goes to 1600x1200 and when I 
log
out, it goes back to 1024.  When I join the domain, it doesn't load on
startup anymore, and when I log off, it says "can't write Multires.exe,
etc".  How do I fix this problem?

3.) My last question is how come only my user has their home directory
mapped to H when they log in?  I thought I set it up correctly.  Below I
have pasted in my config.  Maybe I'm just stupid and have something 
wrong.

Thanks!

Robert
P.S. This may be quite long.
