Is the folder, containing the user's files mapped to a drive letter, 
e.g. U: ? In that case you can edit the bootstap.ini and point to that 
folder.

Do you have a true domain, so that the user profile is copied to the 
server, when the user logout? Then you need not worry, that it is C: The 
temp folder, which LO uses is not the system temp folder, but a temp 
folder in the profile.

The bootstrap.ini uses syntax like $SYSUSERCONFIG for the folder with 
the users WinXP profile, or $ORIGIN for the folder with the file 
bootstrap.ini. I don't know which variables are known besides that two.

Another way: If your users don't need to start LO with double click on a 
file, you can give them a start icon, which calls LO with the 
-env:UserInstallation= parameter.

With "new" user do you mean new to the system or new to LO?

Kind regards
Regina
