Default User Profile

I have a two diffrent type of users logging to our win2k network: desktop users and laptop users.
When the user logs in for the very first time to his/her computer account, the computer receives a default user profile from the server (netlogon\Default User)
Is it possible to create two different default profiles (one for desktop users and one for laptop users) and automatically push one profile to the desktop and the second one to the laptop user ? How to acheive this ?

I think the only way to do this is to set up roaming profiles.

ah see the problem that you would run into with that is that the profile loads and then the scripts run :) so you have open and locked files and windows will turn itself upside down and fall over! not a bad theory though, probably wouldnt take to much modifyng to work
startup script for a computer runs before users logon thus is theoretically sound, dont particularly like it but it is an answer to the problem if it does indeed need to be the default user profile vs making changes upon logon (like with a logon script)
hmm interesting, i wasnt bad mouthing your idea by the way, just adding my thoughts :)
