What you are looking for is the setx program.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/setx-o.asp

If you install this on the client machines and call it from login 
scripts it will do exactly what you describe.  I have used it before to 
great effect (and if I recall correctly, it works under xp as well).

Later,
