I do this using kixstart scripting language from kixstart.org. I also use the script to alter things 
like IE homepage & screensavers etc.

You can alter all the locations for things like My Picture, My Doc's , Desktop even using the 
scripting and you can do it on groups so staff have on location & students other. I use it to setup 
drive mappings as well

If you'd like a copy of my loginscripts let me know and I'll mail them over.
