what hack are you talking about? (I'm really interested in doing this since
I've posted several questions on this same list before).

My approach was like this :

- Samba 3 server
- Windows XP client machines
- Roaming profiles stored on the server
- The client machines execute a script on logon that tries to load a
specially customized .reg file, but fails doing it because the user that
logs won't have priviledges enough to modify the registry (entries con
"hkey_current_user - HKU" or similar)

this didn't work... any ideas? :-)
