Profile or home directory?
Presumably (given the nature of the discussion) home directory.
1. Don't have the OS create a home directory on the Metaframe server, unless
you've got no other options - have this on a dedicated file server, where
(ideally) the roaming profile should be stored, too (in a seperate location
on the server).
*Ideally* a terminal server is just a terminal server, not a file server too
(local profile transient caching issues aside ;-))

Hide and ntfs protect *everything* on the Metaframe server - store the user
specific stuff elsewhere, and have (a) mapped drive(s) to it.

1. Not if it's hidden.
2. Doesn't matter if it's protected by ntfs permissions.
3. You can control where the open dialogue looks by default.

Completely.
As probably does nobody else admin-ing a Metaframe server.
