After you've set up your share on the server, map a drive to it in My Computer. Now right-click My Documents and go to properties. Click the move button, point it to the mapped drive, and click Ok. You'll be prompted whether or not you want to move existing files to the new location, say yes.
Once the move is finished, you're ready to set up synchronization. Right-click on My Documents again and click Synchronize. In the lower right hand corner of the window you'll see a button marked Setup, click that. Now check the boxes next to "When I log on to my computer" and "When I log off of my computer" and click ok.
I do this at work and it has worked flawlessly for me thus far. Good luck.
My laptops take about 24 hours get Gentoo up and running. After that, I have it down to a science and can get my WM tweaked just right in about 15 minutes. Of course, I have a little script that handles most of this for me.
My desktop machine would certainly take a lot less time given the quad Xeons it's housing, but I haven't had a need to test my script on it yet.
Windows took closer to 3 days to get comfortable, but I haven't had to put up with that garbage OS in quite a while, so I'm sure it'd take longer now. And, of course, I wouldn't want to have to do any of this on Vista cuz I know that nothing is where I expect to find it anymore.
I've personally never used the middle-click feature. I thought it was a nifty idea, but I've got my mouse set up different. I use Microsoft's trackball explorer and have the middle button set up as right-click and the "right" button set up to show desktop. I also use my forward and back buttons on the right side. I just wish it came in a left-handed form-factor.
