My experience is that that hack is relatively useless for this purpose. 
The app may have improved but what I found: the user still needs a 
local account and all it does is persistently apply a set of 
credentials that will allow access to domain resources. Which can 
easily be done with a persistent share, albeit the domain credentials 
will need to be entered on startup unless the local credentials are 
identical.

XP Home simply sucks, even DOS with the Workgroup Add-On can interface 
with an MS Domain better. The Vista Home editions are probably just as 
sucky in this regard although I haven't seen them yet.

Businesses that license the home editions are making an expensive 
mistake.
