As soon as LAN Server (to replace LAN Manager) comes in, I'm switching
my dept's network to OS/2 2.0 (from 1.3).  Before, I used "newini" as
part of each user's login to set the "desktop" up for that individual.

I just sold a single user machine with 2.0 installed, and it seems to me
that "newini" may not hack it.  Workplace Shell seems tightly coupled to
the file system.

Is there a good (clean) way to give each person a personalized WPS at
whatever workstation they log onto?  This should (ideally) include print
job settings, background, colors, mouse prefs, and _folders_.  Folders
are definitely the most important - I don't want people to even know
about some of the things that I need on my desktop.  (Complexity ->
Confusion)

Thanks for the help!
