When u use Terminal Server and connecting from a remote PC using terminal Server Client software to connect the server It automatically create a profile in C:/Documents and Setting folder.
U have to install the applications or other programms shared by user using Add remove programme from Control Pannel. This will automatically update to the user.Once u Login to the server u have to configure
the user.

Hope this will give u a liitle guidencs.

Thank you.

I know this

I need to have a c:\ for every user so they cannot see the rest of the servers directorys

There must be an entry in the registry or an *.ini file for the application pointing it to the location of the profile. Find the entry and change it to something like...C:\documents and setting\%username%. You may need to convert the path to short filename if its an older program. Or(just had another thought) try changing the "working directory".

Hope this helps.
