1. Change your Windows domain user to have another "home" directory.
2. Edit your '/etc/passwd' file to point to the directory you want
to be your home.
3. Recreate your '/etc/passwd' file telling it to use a different
path for your home (see 'man mkpasswd' for details on switches to
do this).
Only (1) is transparent across all invocations of 'mkpasswd'.
