- Well, if you made workarea folders for each "user configuration", and populated
- them with shadows from a hidden, main folder, then changed the main OS/2 2.0
- desktop to have just the folder objects for each user configuration, then the
- only thing you'd have to do is to make sure everyone closed their workarea
- and selected shutdown from the main desktop before powering off the system.

- That's it in theory, I haven't tried it yet, becuase I'm the only one using
- my system at this time. <g>
