We are going towards a 'thin client' using Citrix.
There is more of a chance of roaming profiles I am
told.
We have a few machines on trial about the campus.

It looks like your networks people will need to set up (in 2000) a 'group'
of users who have
roaming user profiles that allow their preferred desktop arrangements to
follow them wherever
they go. Maybe users who tick a 'disability' box when filling in their
application for a username
could automatically be checked and, if eligible, added to this group?
There's some basic info on this at
