Samba Mapped Drives

I have a samba PDC running on RH9 kernel 2.6.4 with samba 2.2.7. I
already have the smb.conf set up to map the users home directory to
the B: drive on the client workstations. I would like to take this
one step further and use samba to create a shortcut on the client
desktop to the B: drive, so that when the users (who, by the way are
middle schoolers) log into the domain, they will be presented with an
icon on their desktop which is a shortcut to their home directory on
the samba server. I am hoping this can be accomplished with a logon
script of some kind.

My current configuration file is:

# samba configuration file
#
[global]

;basic server settings
workgroup = TAS
netbios name = dali
;server string = Samba PDC running %v
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192
SO_RCVBUF=8192

;PDC and master browser settings
os level = 64
preferred master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
domain logons = yes

;security and logging settings
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
log level = 2
max log size = 50
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

;user profiles and home directory
logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U
logon script = logon.bat

;attempt to map home directory to drive H
logon drive = B:
logon home = \\%L\%u

# ==== shares ====

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = /home/%u
browseable = no
writeable = yes

[profiles]
path = /home/samba/profiles
writeable = yes
browseable = no
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700

[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /home/netlogon
read only = yes
browseable = no
write list = root

You failed to mention the client running on the desktop - Linux,
Windows, BSD, MS-DOS, etc.
