Need hep with Accessing user files on NT4 server shared user directory

First I want to say. I think the answer is out there. But
I can not seem to find it. I've had a 5 or 6 year absence
from Windows NT and am not sure of the technical terms to
use to locate the answer.

I'm trying to help out a non-profit organization with a
problem.

They are running a Windows NT 4 server. They have about
50 networked PCs running Windows 98 SE.

Here is the problem: They want a user to be able to sit
at any of the 50 workstations and be able to access their
individual documents. The applications are installed on
each individual PC. But the documents need to be
available anywhere a person at the non-profit wants to
sit. Also the documents need to reside on the server, in
order to be backed up.

I am not sure how to set the server up so a user can log
in to the PC (and the network) and have the "My
Documents" folder be that user.

I know how to use shares, map network drives ...etc ...
and set up very basic login scripts on the server that
run on the remote PC to issue a command like "net use"
for example, but I can't seem to get the individual
users "My Documents" folder to appear on the PC client.

Like I said it has been 5 or 6 years since I've worked
with NT and Windows so I'm rusty with the correct terms.
But I can follow directions and can figure out what terms
are if anyone can help. I'd be indebted.

Thanks

Terry

- Is the WinNT server acting as a Domain Controller?
(Check on the server: Control Panel / Network /
Identification: Do you have a box called "Domain",
with a domain name inside?).
- Are users logging on locally, or are their accounts
getting validated by the Domain Controller?
(Do the Win9x workstations have a domain name
in the logon box?)
- Do you have an existing logon script?
(Check the definition of some user accounts on
the server with usrmgr.exe. Is there a script name
in Profile / Logon Script Name?)
