Allow/Deny access to Hard Drives (The GPO/registry ways of doing this
are tricky at best)
Assign wallpapers
Cahnge path/environement settings

environement)
You should be aiming at 2 things, IMO;
1) Simplifying the stuff that otherwsie has to be donme through
scripots/registry hacks
2) Pulling together the disparate elements that can be available in
different places - TS config tool, AD, GPOs, profiles.

I'd say the main things I'd use hybrid profiles for, are actually
exceptions.
In very much the main, I want everything standard, I want everything
common.
The exceptions are things like the Office suite - where things like user
details, and outlook settings need to be individualised - clearly things
like PST usage, and signatures in Outlook are areas where I want
individual settings too. And in fairness, this can all be achieved with
what I've got / use. Although the ability to simplify this, makes
"corporate" sense.
At present I use a warm, soothing blend of mandatory profiles, GPOs and
scripts that I have honed since Winframe 1.7 / Office 97 / Outlook 98.
To summarise, though, I mainly want everything common - hence mandatory
profiles, I only want individual settings where the app demands it, or
that personal touch or configuration makes the difference.
