[Samba] direct descent into home directory

Samba alone will not automatically map a user's home directory to any 
specific drive. The best way (that I know of) to implement this is to 
create a login script, where you run a command like this:

net use h: /home

That should map the H drive on the user's machine to their home directory 
on the Samba server. I'm assuming this is what you mean when you say 
Samba will go directly to the users' home directories. Hope it helps.
