Thanks.  I've actually already implemented a fix to my original problem
using your earlier suggestion of specifying the profile to use at runtime
via the -P"profilename" command line switch.  In short, I've created a
profile for each user, and I've created shortcuts which call the
appropriate profile and placed them into each user's Start Menu as
appropriate.

The single greatest disadvantage of this scheme is that it involves changes
made locally at the workstation registry to create and maintain the
different profile information.  The registry info can be locally
controlled, but replicating it across several machines as and when things
change may become a pain.
