Very simple.  I'm attaching a perl5 script that will 
create the registry entry given a username to point to 
h:\the_net\communicator

Then start netscape with -P"%USERNAME%"

You can do the same type of thing with INF files.  This 
does require that the user have write access to
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Navigator\Users]
