Probably your best option is to have a logout script that records the
TB registry keys. Then, instead of launching TB directly, use a
script to first import the reg keys, then launch TB. At the end of
this message you'll find the batch file version of what I'm thinking.
The only problem I can see is if your NT user accounts don't have
regedit permission. Also I'm not sure how well Batch files work under
Windows NT, but I'm sure you could translate it to the appropriate
scripting language.
The not so nice way is to create all the accounts in TB under your
administrator account. Then log into NT with the different accounts.
Now when you do the TB install, create the appropriate accounts, but
just point them to the folders you already created.

It's been a while since I've written any DOS scripts. Please let me
know if I've made any typos, or just plain stupid mistakes.
