I think some checking in the How-To should provide the answer. It's
'mandatory' profiles and you should be able to accomplish this by having
a "Default User" profile on the profile server and having the policy of
deleting local profile at log off from each workstation.

Of course this means that you can't leave things on "My Documents" or
"Desktop" because they would be trashed but files could be stored in
individual users 'home' directories or shared directories.
