No...change user /install on a 2000 server is server wide, unless I'm
missing some hotfix or something. Can be very dangerous depending on what
is going on.

True for both INCLUDING 2000.

No argument.

Well presumably, they wouldn't know anything about a new app, before a
login cycle - I mean it's possible for folder refresh to include some
newly created shortcuts, but I suspect it's the least of peoples'
worries - whether existing sessions can access the changes.

A new app or change in app may require login script changes, or GPO
changes - which may take a while to refresh, anyways.
