I wrote a !Choices application to help towards doing just this. It lives in the user root directory of each of my users on my server. It is run at log-on and it sets various Choices: paths to itself. It can also live locally, and by running it it will set itself to be the 'current' user choices.

Interesting. I like the flexibility of being able to easily set and unset a choices path. That could be very useful in eg: switching users.
- Click a logout button
- user's choices gets unset
- New person logs in
- New choices set
- run new user's login script - basically a desktop file setting screen res, background, apps to run etc. (if such a thing is sensible)
Of course, this would also require a logout script to close down any programs that aren't needed by a new user, which might be tricky. Probably want to close all programs started by the user, and any in their login script.
