IIRC, during my research I found references stating:

NT/2K should not use the home directory for profiles and NT/2K should not 
use a hidden .directory.

On the other hand Win9x has a limited ability to connect to a domain and 
in fact does not have any other choice then to use the home directory for 
profiles.

IIRC, I reported these to devinfo and then changed my template fragments 
accordingly.

I feel this should be cause for concern.  This references a failure to 
set one or more of the environment and registries entries involved in the 
internal NT/2K Home Directory parameters.
