If its anything like our computers it will be really complicated.
Our computers delete all session data immediately after your log out. If the wallpaper was changed or if any programs were added anywhere other than your folder they are removed and the entire computer gets "reset". It also gets anoying because apparently they didn't open up IE after they updated because it always gives that Google toolbar was recently installed message.

Have you tried right click and map network drive? Wee have a bunch of shortcuts on our computers that do this so wee can access different drives
