The easiest way to do this is to create a group policy object and apply it to the appropriate people by placing them in an OU or by limiing "apply gpo" permissions to a specific group. Then add the users to the group or OU.

Then you can get away with changing it only once.

I think you want to reset what %HOMESHARE% and %HOMEPATH% are set to. There used to be a way in Group Policy, but that was during an NT to 2000 migration (you could revert). Have you played with Group Policy settings for User config, Admin Templates, System, User Profiles??

Simply open the organsiational unit where the accounts are located and press control A to select all the objects, right click and click properties click profile, set the path on this page and it will be applied to all of the selected objects.
